Default pucker moment

as i was getting off the interstate the other night. when i pulled into the exit lane under braking the right front hit some poor road repair. it was about the same width of the tire and about 3' long. the whole rig pulled hard to the right i corrected to the left. felt like the dang sidewall of the 35 collapsed. ESP never came on thanks Jeep it'll come on in a small corner but not when it could have helped nice. anyway got it straighten out and scrubbed off enough speed to make the corner off to the stop sign.

That will make your heart rate go aerobic and your hands grip the wheel.

Default wheel suck

My CJ wheels (12.5 wide) used to get sucked off the road in my hometown after they raised the roads....

It probably didnt help that the suspension was starting to get sort of tired...

Scares the heck out of you-

Gotta love the ESP. Mine only kicks in on dirt roads and when I'm making really slow U-turns.
