No! Careful You need to hold the bulb firmly, and role the Jeep forward.

Just run a string out the rear hatch and push it over the hill. That will pull the bulb, and you don't even need to go.

Looks like some bacteria growing experiment going on in there. Need the light to get the cultures to grow more quickly?
