Ryan's lifted and locked CJ-7 has the original 258 six cylinder with a temperamental carburetor.  Working the 258 engine hard not just to try to get up this rocked climb but also to keep the engine running, Ryan's CJ was spitting black smoke as it choke for air.

Ryan gave it plenty of throttle but in the end needed a pull from above.  By this time the ground had begun to break up and the rocks were getting slick with soil.  This just made it tougher from the guy up next.  Chris in his TJ.
