Videos like that (at 2:20) make me wish I had given Widowmaker more of a hit, but it is easy to not want to push it when you see that wall in person I just got up on it and spun the tires for a few seconds. Maybe next time.
I would like to think I will try that Widow Maker but hopefully my bumper lets me mount it And yes.. This will be my first time running Metal Masher I have tread and 35's so this trip is gonna be a little more exiting for me, Zach what did ya do with your selinoid and switch for your front locker I need it Or does anyone have one they wanna let me buy or use this weekend?

the trick to widowmaker in an XJ is start on the far left to where you pop up with the drivers side tire to the left of the ledge, then it'll slide you over and you'll go right up(or should LOL). that XJ in the vid got lucky he must have had the perfect weight balance or something cause out of at least 200 XJ's i've taken there in the last 10 yrs only 3 have climbed it on the right side.

just remember don't let it slide to far to the right, that hole like to bend leafs if you fall back into it hard enough.

and if no one makes it there is a winch anchor on top now
