After some research, I realize my mistake on the hill.  The Rubicons with automatics hit 3rd gear on the hill which is equivalent to 5th gear for the manual.  It would be impossible to shift in the middle of the hill, so I should have been in 4th when I hit the base of the hill.  I made it up in 3rd but barely because I couldn't generate enough speed.  Below are the 2wHi gear ratios for both trannys.  The ratios stay constant in 4wLo but are reduced 4:1. 

It was a ton of fun out there.  First time taking the JK offroad (ought it 10/1709)  Can't wait to get out there again with this crew.  Great bunch of people.

I do it 2nd gear with a 5 speed, six cylinder, with a non rubi t-case, with 3.07 axles. You just gotta get your momentum up before getting on the hill. I tried to crawl it once in 1st gear 4lo and it wasnt happening, so i tried it aagin in 2nd with speed and went right to the top. But then again, ive been up that hill 30-40 times. Practice my friend, practice, you'll get it.

Just aim towards it rolling slow and right when your front tires hit the base of the hill floor it ;D
