Mudding is only fun if you get stuck though..

About that long arm, GET IT.
More flex, less stress, softer bumps(speed bumps too).
You will NOT regret it.

idk if the ram feels like it belongs in that picture, that is why it is so far behind. It doesn't look built at all lmao

sure it is fun get stuck but here we have 2 winches but have no trees or any tow points. thats why we asked for the CAT truck.
about the long arms i have been studing them and the long arms have better design than the rubicon express because they are a little bend but the cross members brackets are to exposed to rocks BUT i dont do rock crawling so i like them. maybe aftes spring break i´ll get them.

the ram isn´t built just has 35" mud´s, to unstuck it we have to use 2 winches because that thing is very heavy.

hey
the driveshaft was made with a detonation pipe, it is used by the oil companies to open the way inside the rock for the oil extraction.
in the cut outs the place the dynamite to blow things hahaha. it is heavy as hell arround 16lbs. looks strong enough.
we´ll be waiting your buildup so good luck
