heh, for sure. i spent 45 minutes trying that line in my lifted '00 sahara
http://7slotgrille.com/jeepers/tj/nathan/index.html#00 and despite the lift
and excellent 33s, no locker = no go. im sure i could have done it with
enough momentum, but im a creeper not a mauler. the rubi crawled right up
it, but it took a couple different tries to get the shovel over the ledge.
