IMHO, Viagra is not for Jeeps like ours. That thing is like a vertical wall. As you see, even custom build rock buggies have issues climbing that thing

I think I'll just stick to the wooded trails on the other side of the spill way

We had a lot of fun on the trails across from Viagra. Roll Over hill is viagra on dirt with trees all around lol.

This year was my first time at Disney, it won't be my last.

Trust me, my JK will never go up that rock. I prefer trails to rock any day. Especially when it gets THAT steep, I'm out.

This is a situation where you need to crawl up, rather than gun it.

I've said this before and will say it again - when you put a lot of pressure, the weak link can and will snap - in this case, the tow hook was good and sturdy, but the plate that is welded to the frame rails is quite thin. We can upgrade bumpers all day long, but with sufficient stress, the weak spots will give up.

I say go with the ARB kit David sells... it has a bracket to mount under you hood, and works like a champ

I'm evening thinking about mounting a small auxiliary tank on my OR-Fab tire carrier, and running an air line from the ARB to the tank so I can run pneumatic tools out on the trail
