I think you'd be surprised what the Samurai would make it up. Not sure what you have as far as a lift or tires, but I know KB (gecko) made it up that with 31" tires and maybe 4 inches of lift. He does have a rear locker, and as I recall had to go the easier way once or twice, but made it pretty far. I've seen Samurai's make it up stuff that big tube buggies had a challenge getting up. With a basic spring over conversion and a welded/spooled rear and some 31's you'd do just fine.
I can't even imagine what I'll be up to by the time August comes around, so I'll have to let ya'll know then. I'd certainly be willing to try earlier in the summer though.
