That's true - I believe I've seen roughly the same config, but with larger mud tires plus lift, and it didn't look as "awkward". Still scary though.

When you going to hit the trails with us Steve? Anytime in the not too distant future? Sounds like you've got some protection mounted in the form of those new bumpers . . . not sure about the suspension though.

That jker sure has a bunch of money in his jeep not to have a lift and tires.

Me and my girl, Troy and Dennis had an AWESOME time at Mountside today. Yall should have come out. Both Troy and Dennis rigs worked AMAZING. I defintately need to upgrade tires. I are a tiny Jeep and my skid plates got a workout today. No damage to the Jeep other than the front bumper.

yup! Denny went right up it! He also made it up Easy Up. We watched a very stockish YJ 4 banger make it up Rev Limiter. As well as more built rigs. I found Duellers do better in the mud than on rocks. I had a freaking blast other than the pucker factory of this right here.
