btw. the name of this hill is called pucker hill. we named it today.


the reason being is that.. the hill is a rutted mess that is just steep. you know like the you have a hard time walking up or down because you keep sliding it is so steep? photos dont document well... But i almost made it up and over until i hit that last rock and the front passenger tire wanted to come up, you are already looking at the sky and then that happened so i called it quits. I was not going to risk a roll over-no shots of my 2 attempts. Dahnk choose a different line and has a rear locker so he made it up and over with a little bounce... But on the way down with the engine now pulling the vehicle and the rear end being so light the rear kept wanting to come up and over... so i ran up the best i could to use my body weight to keep the rear end of the jeep down.... it makes your butt cheeks hurt a little bit... Thank goodness for great brakes!

Yup that silver jeep is mine. 96's jeep tried to rape my jeep but the old girl fended him off haha.

Its two wheel drive with a factory limited slip. trust me it goes alot of places...its great fun. Yes i cant go alot of places that 4x4's can go, but it can go plenty of other places. Not only that it teaches you how to drive better then if you had a 4x4. trust me i can pick lines that my dad who has 4x4 has trouble getting through. I think that experience is priceless and invaluable. Stick with the 2wd for some time and get some experience!

Welcome btw your welcome to come out any time. love to have you come and play and show you up...er i mean teach you how to wheel haha just kidding man...
