yeah, well, more like 75 degrees but it was pretty steep! thats why im impressed. theres a 50-60 degree slope i climb alot down at another place, thats nothin. but the 80 degree slope was a little loose and my friends dakota was having trouble in 2wd but my jeep just walked up it.

Check the torque and aligned the front end, checked all fluids and welded the passenger door hinges (the only problem I have with two doors).
