I definitely wouldn't recommend a solo trip in a Farrabee Jeep.
BTW - At least five years ago I rented a jeep from Richard Farrabee himself when he was at the old gas station across from The Inn and told him of my plan to drive over Mengel Pass. He did not bat an eye or show any concern acting like it was just any other rental day. I never did attempt Mengel Pass from the east due to running out of time and only making it to Warm Springs where I turned around. (I'm still jonesing to climb Striped Butte!)
So how about a Farrabee Jeep east to west over Mengel. The videos I've seen of people going up and over west to east up over look intimidating. I don't like or enjoy technical jeeping. Washboards, ruts and some rocks are ok but bouldering and scraping bottom is for other more dedicated folks.
