Very nice. Whoever was filming thought you needed to hit the gas. Finesse, man.

cool videos..not trying to take anything away from your climb but that CJ5 was a manual..they're a bit harder to wheel than a slush box.

yeah the cj is for my friend charlie brown (real name) he bought it for like $500 and did a few real minor things to it... he's carburated not fuel injected so on steep inclines he gets no fuel, he has now power steering, and the whole rig is pretty sketchy... but they were are really surprised with how well the short bus did all day... with street tires...

discoxd, tell your friend he can adjust his carb float and install some off-road needles for about $30..it will make a big difference climbing a steep hill.
