Jump started the Jeep yesterday and took it to a local vineyard that teamed up with the club to make a fun obstacle course. Was like a mini OCJW with jersey barriers, rocks, mounds, and mud pits. I went the second and last day of the event so there wasn't a crowd and no pictures really due to the woman running it yelling at people who were out of their vehicles in the area. I U shaped my tail pipe off the jersey barriers, removed it and ran over the course a few more times. #justgottasendit. Hit 65mph for 45 minutes straight after the event on the way home no issues, was a great day.

Yeah I was thinking that too... that being the case, it's pretty encouraging seeing him flex out on top of a 31-33" tire with short arms.

There's a guy in my club running a short arm tj really low with 33s and I'm pretty sure he's climbed up on my buddy's 36 or 37s can never remember since he changes them up.

Yes, i'm on short arms. RE superflex shorties. Flexing on buddy's aired up 33" MTZs. The rear was the limiting factor, with some relocators and boomerangs I don't see any issue going up to 35s. Currently just running MJ shackles. I can feel the wider stance on the course and it is great.

That's cool man. Makes me feel better about running the SAs for the interim. The Jeep budget is depleted and it's gonna be a while before it's built back up again.

I'm not sure what I'll end up doing, keep the shorites, build my own mid/long arms, buy from somewhere. It's not in the list of to dos at the moment. Rear bumper and stiffeners are next

Yeah, back burner that.... looks like your Jeep has no want for flex at current. Armor it up and wheel it like it is, you can do LA's later, but fixing a tweaked or damage frame or body is a lot harder.
