stick a linelock in there and mightbe easier. or if its slower speeds go in reverse and parking brake.
Okay, I didn't know that. I just know some 4WD vehicles can, and the jeep seems like a good fit in other manners. Now that I think about it more, how about a motorcycle? Be pretty easy in that I'd think.
