Tire climbing question
 
1 Attachment(s)
OK so I've been dieing to climb someone's tire but I've never done it before...I want to climb my buddies jeep tire this weekend but I didn't ask cuz I don't know if his jeep is climbable and then of course I'd let him climb mine too but I need advice first..... I know the obvious that I need to deflate my tires some and the other jeep has to have a wide tire.... But what else do I need to know? Can his jeep climb mine? Can I climb his?

His is a 2012 2door Sahara with 2.5" Skyjacker sport lift and 3/4" Daystar coil spacers, 1 1/2" wheel spacers pretty sure he's running a 285 tire, I got a 2010 JKU Rubicon with a 4" Skyjacker lift and 315/70R17 Goodyear Duratrac tires..... Thanks in advance for any help.

The vehicle being climbed should turn to the opposite side being climbed. Use a spotter so as to not rip someones fender off. At least that's how I have always done it.

So I climb from the rear of the tire or the bumper side?

When we've done it, we are facing eachother. My Driver's side to his Driver's side. Also can do it Pass onto Pass.

TeraFlex guys have a great picture of 10 (ish) of their Jeeps in a line on eachother's wheels.

Agree on being turned opposite direction

the jeep that climb need lockers. I never done it but with my experience I guess you'll start spinning on the other wheel before you start to climb.
