Default Tire climbing question

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.

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

Here's mine on-top of a 38

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.
