Jeep Wranglers Set World Record for High Altitude Climb in Chile – Topix.

“The climb was officially the highest by an internal combustion located in the South American mountain range of Chile. The two vehicles climbed 6,646 meters (21,804 feet) above sea level, allowing them to set the record of the highest altitude ever reached by a 4×4.”

Wave that Jeep Flag high and proud.. but seriously, like it would be any different? NOT! We all know Jeep’s are #1!!!

 

thats awesome! I'm going to climb everst in mine

 

thats awesome! i gotta go there one day, my parents are from Chile!

 

Very cool. Wonder if they video taped the trek.

 

If they were Unimogs they would've climbed to the moon!

 

I'm guessing that is why they used the coordinates they used on the Mountain Edition seats.

 

This has got me thinking... the air is a great deal thinner at such a high altitude. What modifications would be necessary to ensure that an adequate air volume and mixture is maintained for the engine to perform properly? I am extremely stupid when it comes to this stuff...

 

Oxygen injection.

 

Well hopefully the ECM would make adaptive changes, but I wouldnt doubt they were very underpowered.

 

A supercharger hooked to oxygen tanks.... nitrous just for good measure!
