That was nicely done - slow and steady, however if you look at the next video of the jeep having a go (Paul Harris) - looked kinda scary

just watched that second paul harris video you were talking about... don't say it too often but that guys just an idiot... should have a toyo
Impressive jeep but way too much power by the looks of it (hope that nos wasn't turned on) and the old "right foot down" technique should be the last resort imho

That is impressive for a heavy vehicle with leaf springs to do that.
A combination of torquey engine(360?) and possibly an auto(727?) , a long wheel base , long soft leaf springs and VERY low tyre pressures(Did you see the rear ones creasing?) with no doubt at least a rear locker and low COG make these a suprisingly capable vehicle when DRIVEN SENSIBLY! That other guy, well, NO COMMENT
I spent quite a bit of time with these vehicles, and that chassis is very flexible too. Makes for good flex if you like listening to the doors and dash creaking...
