How steep is that hill, really?

Yes, that would be a "do or die" maneuver: it only works if you do it quickly before the vehicle has a chance to roll. Not for the slow to respond, any hesitation and your will be rolling over and over on the way back down.

I like to keep the shinny side up personally, so I try and avoid such driving in my daily driver.

Here is another video of a failed rock ledge climb in my crawler but that is why I had a full exo-cage winched her back over and finished the trail I was going for reverse the whole time but my tranny mount was severely warn and it had shifted enough that I could not get it into the rail. And the shiny side of that truck was the bottom side
And Dave the job interview was great I just finished my third day! So I am now an official employee of a custom 4x4 and spring shop. So I am going to try to start sleuthing through the pages of suppliers Books and start compiling a list of after market springs, shocks, etc. that will mesh with tercels. Don't hold ur breath but I will get to it, lots of new stuff to learn for me right now.
