    sounds like its out of the question for the VX run.

    I have VERY high doubts my Runner will make it up with 33's and a rear locker.

    in fact, i would be very surprised if i could, and you know my confidence level billy

    All kidding aside....(and money and space were no object)...would the Mantec BRIDGING ramps work on the Waterfall obstacle?

    Or maybe even one of the SAND ladders would work for such a quick short distance?? (realizing much more of the weight will be bearing down when truck is nose down like this)

    INPUT please....
