I'm too cheap to own a Jeep, but my little buggy is semi-topless and it doesn't even have doors. I've been taking it to work every day so far this week. It gets a heluva lot better mileage than my truck. It's no rock crawler, but you'd be surprised what that little thing will do.
That's a LITTLE better! Go big, or go home!
Where you been, man! Are you going back up there with us sometime?
That's what SHE said! Actually, she (my wife) did say that.She hates that hill.
Come on, gimme a break. I looked, and the blocks are too close to the building and propane tank.
I need to find a place to flex on...

NOW you want to go????? I'm out of town every weekend until practically July. Interlake SRA this weekend for an event, and then Minnesota fishing with my FIL for the next 2 weekends.
We'll get out eventually!
That is awesome. Now go get it muddy!
No way. I don't do mud, too much likelihood of it getting into something and causing some real damage. Rocks, sand and trails I'm good with but I keep it out of the water and mud. Maybe someday once it's paid off and I've forgotten how much it cost me I'll get her nice and slimy but for now she stays dry.
Well thanks a lot guys. Now I keep looking at that large concrete block, trying to figure out if I could really get on it.
It looks awfully high. Do you just tilt your wheel against it, and just hit the gas so you start climbing up?

First: I am by NO MEANS recommending you do this!
If you do, having a "spotter" to watch your blind side will help. - Put the Jeep into 4-low, first gear. Disconnect the front sway bar if you can.
- Put the block on the driver's side, so you can see it and your driver's rear tire easier.
- Drive up to it at a 45* angle or so.
- Turn slightly into the block, so the tire gets good contact (and the fender/bumper doesn't)
- Ease into the throttle. Just enough to start climbing. Don't go too fast, or you could over-shoot and flop over (that would be bad).
- Once you start up, turn the wheels straight (your steering wheel will likely not be centered with the axle articulated so much)
- If your driver's rear tire looses traction, or starts to leave the ground, STOP. That's as high as you can go.
Is yours a stick shift? That makes it a bit more challenging, what with the three-footed-dance (clutch, toe on brake, heel on throttle).
General rule of thumb: you should be able to get a tire on a ledge the same height as that tire. Maybe taller if you are set up "right", maybe a bit shorter if you are set up "wrong".
Thanks! I'll see if I can get a spotter. Assuming I talk myself more into doing this 
And it's an automatic.

If you get a Spotter and given that it is an Automatic...
If you fail to be able to clear your tires in height from vertical obstacle I believe you have to give your jeep away...

Heh.... I feel like such an adolescent today!
I double-dog (with sugar on top) dare you!
If I could sneak out of here early, I'd come watch the show.

You can have it anyway...
To me it is not a real Jeep anyway. I mean it ain't a CJ...
