for a really good idea of how steep it is....goto YouTube and search for Wishbone Ranch....look for Bobby Tanner on Commitment Hill....and you will know

I love how tight that cage is on that Ranger.

he gave it a good try, but only had the front end clear the "roots"...could never get the rear over...

so, he went up the next hill over....

John, how did Daniels jeep do? Short of a touchy pedal, curious to know how the v8 swap I did work out for it. I heard it did ok, but I wasn't there...

SVT

 

[railman]

it did really well

as mentioned, the touchy gas pedal and a "knub" on the tranny shifter linkage was rubbing the front driveshaft...the "knub" doesn't seem to be used for anything so a quick swipe with a grinder should take care of that...

may be a few other things, but those are the only 2 that were discussed there...
