    Not likely I can make this but I'm sure gonna try, if I can somehow get caught up this week after nearly 2 weeks off. My Moab boner won't subside and it's been well over the 4 hours the Dr warns about

    Ya, its not that bad. The escalator is more intimidating but not horrible either. Spotter on escalator is much more important than the driver

    I cant recall how low 1st in a MT feels so I'm not sure. Hells Gate is probably no biggie but the couple bumps up on the Escalator might be a bit sketchier without the lower gear option, you simply cannot roll back on escalator, its a bad bad idea. I think you would be ok, with the auto there was no point where I felt it needed additional gas beyond a mild chug

    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.
    X2 I was in standard low for the gate and low/low for the Escalator I didn't want to stall on that one.

    So I am guessing you would not recommend going on if you have mt with no marlin crawler?

    First and only time I did Miller Jeep Trail was with TTORA ..There were nearly 30 rigs that showed up and it took all day. I was stoked tho..that's when I popped my trail cherry in my two week old tacoma.. bashed my door sills on the passenger side from front passenger door all the way back to the front of the bed. Couldn't open the rear passenger door with out forcing it :facepalm:
