How'd the LJ go up the bigger hills?
I know in mine with hills steeper than that it just ran out of guts even flatout revvin in low second and then tried in third, seems you have resonabley stockish sized tyres on, did they handle it ok.
I couldnt be bothered letting my tyres down any lower than their normal pressure of 18psi tho

I tried one time to shift the gears, ONCE it was just like putting on the brake. it was so steep by the time I had it shifted I was halfway stopped. It would only make it with the transfer in Low and the tranny is 1st. Before I had the rear made into a posi I had to have help making it up it, I would get half way and start spinning so someone would have to hook a rope or cable on and pull me up and out of it. I loved that hill!!!
I'd rather be driving my LJ!
