I just have to ask you about your avatar. Yes, you were able to drive up this wall with the stacked blocks. But, how well did the XJ survive when it came time to back away since just a few inches of backward movement did equal four feet of front end vertical drop. Nice avatar, but just asking.

let it down easy enough and prevent the suspension from compressing a lot and it will come down just as easy as it went up.

this site has a pm feature as well

and this isnt tech. moved to chat.

Pretty much like ktmracer said. Eased it down heavy on the brakes. Smooth as silk.

I was going to remove the blocks and take a shot. I actually drove up the wall further past the blocks. But I did not know for certain how the wall was holding up

You haven't been driving long have you?



I would have laughed like hell if you went thru the wall.

Do you think you could put one tire on the roof while the other 3 are still on the ground?
