To those that have been up AND down, which way is more intense? I thought down would be until I saw this video. It's weird when something going so slow can be as intense as this is.
@ken852254 жыл бұрын
I'm probably the resident Lions Back expert on this video thread......first time up it in 1987.......been up and down it many times since...and in the dark....in a red 1984 Toyota longbed....and also in a white 1990 "98% stock 2% badass" Samurai. Camped at the top overnight once. What a beautiful sight to see the Main street of Moab from the top at night. I think coming down could be the scariest because you get to see a lot of landscape and you just became aware of how high up you really are. ZUK There is enough room for 2 Jeeps to go UP side by side. But it might be unnerving to some. I know it quite doable for a Jeep and Sami to go down side by side.....with room to spare for a biker in the middle. Me and an old friend were coming done side by side.....biker was pushing his bike up about midway when he suddenly realized us 2 were taking up most of the width... He looked left and right and had no place to go ......was panicking a little maybe.......I yelled down to him to not worry and stay right there.....to not move. As we both slowly went around him he had the biggest grin ear to ear and could only say KOOL. That was about 1993ish. He had a story to tell his buddies.....bet they said "NO WAY. You're making it up.....no way there's enough room". And then there is the backside..........

@MechanicalDifficulty4 жыл бұрын
Yes ~ Still Suzuki but a 1.6L EFI swap from a tracker/sidekick. While doing work this engine was not especially strained in this video. Art's Samurai was well equipped with the proper gearing, suspension, and traction to conquer this challenge safely.

you would still have drive in the axle that still has a good shaft. having said that I think there is a video on KZbin of a crown vic going up lions back so it can be done in 2wd. probably not by some thing lifted and running 37"+ tires though.
