And the problem is?:confused:
 
We wheel with *eeps! No problem, any time. We had 2 of them on the trail with us. That "rock" wasn't as bad as it was made out to be. If a stock drivetrain, 2.5" lifted, welded rear, on 32 BFG A/T's, open front Land Cruiser can make it up, how hard can it be? I drove right up it!
 
My rig is fine, I don't think Mike is registerd on this board.


How about some video of you guys going up?

We aren't as bad as the main board. And coming from a former Jeep owner, I will have one again. I still really like them, it's just when I got into my LC phase, Jeep didn't have what I needed. Now with the 4D JK, I could go that way again. Most likely, I will pick up an LJ someday.

Oh, I thought you were Mike, sorry! Yeah, I made it unassisted,as did a friends 91 Toyota, drove right up it with ease. There is a video, I will try to get the link. You must drive the back half'd Wagoneer huh? Sweet rig man!

Yeah, that is my rig, I call it Wuggy. Thanks for the compliment. I am very impressed you made it up with ease but Toyotas are bad ass. Had some buddies back home with FJ40s and they went places. They just seem well balanced, the truck is set up the best for that obstacle IMO.

What air pressure were you running?

When we went, rigs with the lower air pressure ~15 or lower made it. All guys running Toyo MTs were denied but also had shorter wheelbases.


Just curious what worked and what didn't. My buddies built Bronco (locked front and rear, doubler etc) had a tough time and ended up seeing a rope before getting over.

We should check out Guzzler canyon sometime this winter. It washed out pretty good and is close to town. :hillbilly:
 
I was running at around 11 or 12 lbs.

Where is Guzzler Canyon? I'd love to run it.

It is a Cruiser forum after all.:D

We've had everything from Jeeps to Ram Chargers to Chevies to Exterras on our runs.

Air pressure is relative. The TSL's I have now don't even bulge the side wall until you get them down below 10PSI, the BFG AT's I had on before were almost flat at 15#.
 
I was told you were all lock front and rear with the exception of Alberts Jeep. I did break the rear d line last week. We welded back together using three batteries. I then broke the t case no forward movement and alot of grinding. Working on the BB to go in. Hope to get it in place this weekend. JTR is right the guzzler canyon is cool. Where is the video of you making it up the rock would like to see it.
 
Nope, not all locked. Just Keith's FJ62 and Mark's FJ40. Me, Albert, and John are locked in the rear, and we even got a Jeep TJ on 31's up it with a few people on the strap helping out. We want to go out there and try a few other lines.

Edit: The TJ was open/open.

I've noticed that, it takes alot to make the TSL's bulge at all. Hopefully I will have a new set for Rubithon next year.
