Hi Sandman,
What happen to the two feet of snow I heard your state got?
You really need to take picture from the side with something we
think is vertical like that lamp post in the back ground, or maybe have
your son stand on the other side. I really doesn't look like much head
on. Anyway, there's only one way to find out, just don't let it slide
sideways, like in this video: http://www.----------.com/rollover2.mpeg

We have some of those out by the lake. My problem was when the front
wheel dropped into a wash and gave me a slot-car style ride to the
bottom. That and the ABS kicking in. That fuse got pulled quickly.
After extracting the seat cover the second try was much smoother.
I still don't like going down washed out trails.

Had a similar situation to that when the ZJ was new. A Toyota
pickup spinning wheels, throwing dirt then backed up to let the
"Yuppie SUV" give it a try. "Ha Ha.. Go ahead, you can't make it."
so I crawled up it in low. Only spot that almost got me was the top
breakover. Turned around, went back down. Stopped and told him
"That was FUN!, any more hills around here?" His girlfriend was
laughing her ass off. Never got an answer. ^_^ Still gives me
chuckles.

Re: how steep is to steep?
 

That's an interesting question... Pictures never do obstacles justice, and
I'm sure this is no exception. I've done some hills in my Jeep that were
pretty freaky the first time, but repeats of the same hill are not scary at
all... So far there is only one hill I haven't had the guts to try a second
time. I was freaked out all the way up, probably saw 4+ ft of air under the
front tires of the guy before me as he crested it, but darn it all if my lil
TJ didn't crawl right up it... I've come to realize that until my confort
factor rises, my Jeep will do far more scary things than I am willing to
try.

I guess it's a matter of how long you've been in the hobby... How
comfortable you are with what can and can't be done. You were probably
looking for a measurement though, huh?
