Can it be done? Do you reckon you're good?
Saudi Arabian stuntmen seem to think so:
Check this out
It's remotely 4x4 related because they're using a shorty Landcruiser to do it :P

Truly amazing... they must have nothing better to do....
Maybe after they qualify in this "school" they go on to become 'kamakazi' pilots...?

im calling this a fake - because if its fwd drive then it would spin the wheel with the least resistance being an open diff?

Front hubs unlocked so the front wheel would stop, handbrake only active on one rear wheel.
Imagine the accident if he had to put it back down while both LHS wheels were off!!!

The first bit about the hubs is possible but the handbrake is on the tailshaft not the rear wheels. Now given the stupidity of the rest if it they could have climbed under and wound up the adjustment of the brakes on the left rear wheel but I'm with stealthmatt -fake !

Its a Toyota not a Nissan.
Handbrake is in the rear hubs not on the tail shaft.
So Ozhum is quite correct as to the ease of doing this.
But who cares, its a good laugh regardless.

I would have thought this couldn't be done in Australia, no roads are smooth enough, but judging by the wear pattern on my current tyres, someone's been driving my car the same way when I haven't been looking.

A new breed of vehicle - right wheel drive, all the while with tyres not turning.
