Twice now the engine has stalled.  Once when it had only 15K and now again with 73k.  Both times it stalled out when I tried to make a run at a steep and crossed up incline.  At the top of the hill my open diffs would spin the tires.  I backed up and tried to hit it with a little more speed.  When the one front and one back tire came off the ground the engine stalled.  I have had this jeep since new and have wheeled it many times without a problem.  Could going backwards in 1st. gear cause the engine to stall?
Any ideas would be greatly appriciated.
