This is on the way back to the trailhead... will the Patriot (with Freedom Drive II Off-Road Package) make it?
....I can't wait to find out.
I wonder if I can take one out there for a 'test drive'?!?!?

I think with right line it would, but it would be tough if it ends up in the ruts.

Would your average 4x4 make it? I'm curious, because I've never tried it. It would seem to me like a tough obstacle...especially if wet....unless you have some sort of limit-slip or better yet, lockers.

Average 4x4 now? No. Average 4x4 ten years ago? With ease. With a little weight on the skinny pedal a ZJ, WJ, or XJ could probably walk rigth up that no lockers needed. Of course seeing an obstacle in a picture is way different than seeing it in person. I could be far under- or over-estimating the hill climb.

Again... with the right line any ZJ, XJ, WJ (heck even KJ) would make it up there. I know if my pre-lifted ZJ got in the ruts it would be over really quick though.
