hey thanks Jake,
this time it did , just like you said.
what fun.
a vanagon would have a lot harder time doing this, given a rear engine location.

If that's one of those regular first generation Toyota vans, they have a pretty short wheelbase , which would sure help.
I expected  they were going to go all the way over on purpose. 

and I don't at all think the rear brakes were disabled either. 
making it bob twice first before the final full application helped get it 'rocking' too, and thus more ready for the big tilt forward.

      and very likely the rear brakes have been rendered ineffective -

        Toyota Liteace. Probably stock brakes. The short wheelbase would be
        important here. So would sticky (and probably treadless) front tires.

      There are two kinds of jobs in the world:
      Picking up garbage and telling people things.
      Successful people do both, with the same good attitude. (riw)
