Officially, that is known as driveshaft hill.

Ah! A very apt name. Thankfully, my driveshaft was not the victim!

You guys actually tried it. You are more crazy than me. I'll attempt it once I get skids and gears.

I have skids, but I'm not geared. I got bounced around a lot and hit my head on the ceiling several times (and I'm not very tall). Bozly went up it fairly easily in his new truggy. I was inspired... but I didn't make it all the way up. I incurred the damage while backing down when a rocked flipped up into the link. Fortunately, I was with some people who know what they're doing, and here is a video of how they fixed it:

I love the fix method. I was lucky enough to replace my rear lowers whith the billet ones from Icon. No worries in that department here.

I wish I could have maid it up with you guys.

I'll be there to keep y'all busy! ;-) Damn, I wish I would have made it all the way up that obstacle - that would have been bad ass. I'm a truggy wanna-be.
