Looks like a fun trip!

Dennis - I know you have a few miles on those tires now, but somehow you've managed to keep them looking almost brand new. What's your secret?

I made the call asking about the warranty policy. I barely even get past the words it broken and they where already asking for my address. This alone tells me I will be ordering their control arms.
Good to hear about the responsive customer service Mike. Started wondering about those track bars when I read this thread a couple of weeks ago ---> https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/sponsoring-manufacturers-vendors-check-out-cyber-monday-specials-24/jks-trackbar-sale-117367/

The bend is right where it gave way. I only have 2.5" of lift and 35's. Can see why it should have been an issue for me. Can't wait to see this new one.

Secret...............I guess replacing three of them with new ones within a month because I tore them up on the trail would be the secret.

You should see my Jeep now. I don't think they come out of the factory looking this clean. But as Myself and Tinman discovered today....there is a cleaning product from the dollar store called "LA's Totally Awesome" that melts the mud right off you tires with almost no effort. Mine look brand new. I heard about the product from ckivy...he uses it on his soft top.

Currently "out of stock" I guess..... At least until the UPS man comes with a big box from JKS warranty department.

EXACTLY....its amazing stuff....and it's only $1.07. You'll spend 10 time more on the advil needed to coup with the sore arms you'd have after scrubbing those stains forever. but with this stuff.....spray on, wipe and hose down.....New Tire....or add tire shine if you're into that sort a thing.

I thought you were teasing, but this stuff exists. So which formulation did you go with - All Purpose?

I wish I could have made it, but I'll be there next time hopefully! Good pics though and it all sounds like a lot of fun.
