Drahcir495 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Living in Central Florida we don’t really have hills. I had to scale this bad boy today and got me wanting to see some extreme driveways angles. I know some of you can top this and I want to see it!

mjeff87 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I'll just drive around my subdivision and snap random photos....there's not a level lot in the whole place (700+ homes). The whole area was an old/undeveloped farm. Some of the driveways are mind-blowing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neohic Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Technically not a driveway yet, but it’ll be going up this hill. My new shop is quite a bit lower than my house. You can just about see the elevation change from the retaining wall going up the hill. I guess I'm due for a new build thread so I guess I’ll start one soon on my new “home”.

There's a reason I have lockers in both axles of both of my DDs. As long as I use the plow to keep it clear and the chains on it to cut the ice it isn't bad. The lockers are for when I don't have time to do that right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drahcir495 Posted July 19, 2019 Author Share Posted July 19, 2019 It’s got to make it interesting DirtyComanche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neohic Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 There’s a bunch of scary looking driveways around my town!... kind of a mountain thing. Some even have switchbacks! As stated already, plowing and keeping things clear is key. Some people even have heated driveways! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiatslug87 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Mine is short but fairly steep, it was fun pulling the engine with the truck in the garage and the hoist on the driveway. At least there's no snow or ice here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 plenty of crazy driveways in northern GA. I should start snapping pics of the... most creative. my folks got super lucky and found property that has about as flat a drive as you can imagine (for the area).

Dzimm Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 I don't have a picture but I picked a desk up for the future mother-in-law in downtown Des Moines about a month ago. The driveway was so steep that my 4.5" lifted MJ almost bottomed out in the rear. The lady drove an SUV and said she's never seen a car make it up the driveway. There were tons of scrape marks at the bottom and I'm sure it ate a lot of bumpers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drahcir495 Posted July 20, 2019 Author Share Posted July 20, 2019 Sounds like steep driveways are so common place that pictures are not necessary lol. 10 hours ago, Pete M said: property that has about as flat a drive as you can imagine (for the area). Just the opposite here! 8 hours ago, Dzimm said: The driveway was so steep that my 4.5" lifted MJ almost bottomed out in the rear. She had a tiny Sol thing, so I have no idea how she managed not to bottom out. Her brother in law just got a MJ. Told her he needs to get on here. It is quite shocking how many people comment on the CC banner. I am really glad I placed it on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The emergency brake cable is broken on mine (never needed to fix it) so I was really nervous about it rolling back into the street! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've learned exactly where to park each vehicle so they're right at the sidewalk but not hanging over The funny thing is ours is not the shortest driveway in the neighborhood.

rylee144 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 At least I have a flat spot on the side of my house. Its gravel though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
