On Aug. 16, I drove to the top gate in my 2002 Jeep Wrangler with barely any difficulty. There was one spot 1.5 miles from the top that gave me a little trouble, but not much. My Jeep is completely stock, including the original tires (25k miles). I removed my bumpers and hitch for extra clearance, disconnected my front swaybar, and aired down my tires to 20 psi, but no other modifications. Also, this was my very first time driving any sort of 4x4 terrain. I can't claim to have natural talent. Either this road is overrated or Wranglers are just that good. Probably both. However, there was also a Ford Ranger and an extended cab long-bed Ford F150 at the top.
