Sounds like trials for Jeeps.
I'm skeptical, but as a kid I always believed you could do a wheelie in a car by pulling up on the steering wheel...

i wish i could explain more but my friends were drinking so i dont know maybe they made it up.....

but give it some gas pop the clutch...who know what would happen...

anyone know....other than a broken tranny...

i always thought that it would be cool to be able to lift a single tire.

the same concept that lowriders have. hydraulic pumps.

lift a tire, crawl with one tire in the air, get on the rock.

i'm sure it's possible.

I've seen the pic somewhere,cant remember.. but it was a buggy that had a pivot in the middle of the body 0-0 the dash is the pivot point each side was hydraulic so it could raise either a front or back tire at any time the set up was like a teeter totter if you can picture it.. maybe someone else knows the one I'm talking about and can post a pic.

I'm pretty sure you're referring to Sonni Honegger's Scorpion or Scorpion I - quick Google didn't come up with any pics, but now you've got a starting point. It's about ten years old, IIRC.
