Re: what trail rated really means
 

Hi Andy,
Cameras and Jeeps soon part, it just happen that there were some
nature lovers out there with a lens about a foot long. They asked for
our address to send the pictures and no one had paper or pen, so we gave
them our check book deposit slip, figuring it would be safe with them,
like they wouldn't be putting in any money, or something to screw up our
balance. ;-)

Hi Brett,
I don't know how you could have driven it any differently, like if
you think the transfer bottomed out on the lip of the road, it couldn't
as you see it tucked up above the cross member:
http://www.----------.com/libbyTransfer.jpg The puny sun and planetary
gears broke before he got that high, anyway.

V8, and have to use the motorcycle chain size transfer, don't use low
range.

On Tue, 03 May 2005 14:43:52 -0700, the following appeared
in rec.autos.makers.jeep+willys, posted by L.W.(ßill) ------

Probably. But I wouldn't do it at such a low speed that I
got high-centered, and if I could I'd take it at an angle.
That's why I rated the driver "moron"; maybe "completely
clueless" would have been better.

And I may have misinterpreted, but it looked to me like one
of those "staircases made of crossways logs" things; hence
the "staircase" comment.
