We had 3 buggies try it last weekend, all with no success. One was on used 39" reds, one on brand new 37" treps, and me on garbage KM's. We had more water last weekend though
The closest was the 39 reds, who coincidentally had the lowest crawl ratio and could go the slowest in a controlled matter. Even then, furthest he got was half way. He had made it last year on the same tires, but that was with a heavier rig and even lower gearing. I'll add, that according to him, the water flow was higher last year when he made it.
I think the trick is stickies and stupid-low gearing

Yes, I was locked.
I'm 241-ish:1 final ratio, but on small ass 39" reds. (3.83 x 2.72 x 4.3 x 5.38; AX15 first x Atlas t-case doubler x Atlas t-case main x diff). Nothing but idle, and awesome steering :)
Rob (outlaw) told me the trick is don't break idle, be stupid low ratio, and stickies. I met all three criteria, plus my tires were in 7 psi range.

/\--that's it.
I will come forward as an eye witness to testify....I saw it all in super slow mo. West coast rock crawlers would have been proud. Red labels and super low was the answer. There was still water running down the rock but dry vs wet didn't seem to make much difference.
I tried with no luck. Not only did my tires not grip as well but my 110:1 gearing with larger tires was not low enough.
That was the first time I have ever seen anyone make it in person. //SLAMIN//

Now this is how we should have done it last weekend.
