Kodak Rock at Uwharrie. I made many attempts and had to winch up it twice. Next time I'll take a better line and might even have bigger 35" mts which would definitely help.

Yep I was aired down to 12 psi. The Aussie is great. I've had no issues. Cheap and easy to install myself. Works great off road.
Of course it isn't as strong as a Detoit, but I don't think you have to worry about that with the relatively low amount of power a Jeep puts out. In 2wd the Aussie is unnoticeable minus ratcheting on hard u-turns.

Nice video, on the last line it you didn't stop it looks like you would of made it. Your tire would have went up in the air but as the back came up you would have went back down.
What gears are you running? I know with my 4.62s (stock) I should take the harder lines there on Kodak, but I always end up taking the easy lines right after the bypass. Oh well maybe after I weld up my front, haha. Again great video, maybe I will see you on the trails at URE sometime.

Thanks! Yea I thought I would have been able to make it the last time, but everyone wanted me to stop and winch. I guess I was more used to tire lift then they were and it felt perfectly fine to me... lol I'll get 'er next time. My 33s are wearing out too so I should be able to get 35 MTs soon.
Dang that's pretty low gearing you have for stock. I'm running 4.88s. It works great all around in addition with my stock np231 Tcase 2.72:1
