I ran into a piece of road that beat me last weekend. Turned out to be a wrong turn so I got to where I was going but I'm hoping someone knows something about tackling simiar stuff. It was a mountain pass outside of Las Vegas and was a well defined road on a grade somewhere between 4 to 6 percent. The killer part is that it is DEEP golfball to baseball size LOOSE rock. I could not get any momentum built up. It was like driving on ball bearings. I thought about airing down but wasn't convinced it would have helped. Slow and careful didn't work either. I've got 33in Wranglers all the way around. No lockers yet although there were other parts of the day that pushed that upgrade higher on the priority list. Is this kind of turf drivable (HOW?) or is it winch time?
