I've sen that cement stair case in magazines for more than a decade (back when 33's were considered radical. I loved the chance to get my Jeep there (CJ). I was surprised that my front tires actually climbed straight up the vertical side and planted it on the top - no tires off the ground. I thought I was king!

By the way, I did have a little trouble getting through the big rock hill - the rocks kept rolling around and my anchor (rear Dana 60) kept hanging up. At least I didn't lose an axle like my buddy.

Great place to end the day after Lockwood/Miller.

Thanks for the pics and reminding me I have to get my new Jeep out on the trails and leave my CJ memories behind.

My guess is Independent Suspension - Front and Rear... any farther and over they go.

The Video is up!!!

Check it out.
And conrad,
The mud's location was a little complicating to navigate to. You just have to follow people that knew how to get there. There's a shot of the mud scene, and me displacing the tire off the rim.
