http://7slotgrille.com/multimedia/peteunf.html 5 meg video of pete in the rock garden at uwharrie.  SignatureNathan W. Collier http://UtilityOffRoad.com http://7SlotGrille.com "....a talking bird is a freak" - Mr. Ed This is kinda an educational video. for those of you with front locker considerations, this is a good example. when he first tried to get up the hill, both front tires spinning together while "locked" up front caused his front end to slide sideways. From the looks of it, a little less air in the tires would also get him up that easier although without a means to air back up, its not always worth the time. Movies never show how stuff really looks. I bet that little ridge was a lot more intimidating looking in person. Thanks for hosting cool stuff Sandman. I hope you are doing well.

Collier http://UtilityOffRoad.com http://7SlotGrille.com "....a talking bird is a freak" - Mr. Ed yeah, wheel speed = broken stuff. Air down I guess is the optimal solution. Thanks again.

I have no lockers, and tried that line, but you can guess the outcome....had to move over like 5 feet (left if you are coming up the garden.) Here's the story in pics, left digicam at the house that day. http://home.nc.rr.com/jpribe/Jeep_photos.htm Signature-- Joe Pribe NC Pull my finger to reply by email. jpribe 'at' nc.rr.com jegp 'at' hotmail.com I Love My O|||||||O > I have no lockers, and tried that line, but you can guess > the outcome.... heh, for sure. i spent 45 minutes trying that line in my lifted '00 sahara http://7slotgrille.com/jeepers/tj/nathan/index.html#00 and despite the lift and excellent 33s, no locker = no go. im sure i could have done it with enough momentum, but im a creeper not a mauler. the rubi crawled right up it, but it took a couple different tries to get the shovel over the ledge.
