This is on the show room floor when they did that huge rectangle crawl over test (because we wheel hard for geometry right?) and it appears to be bent to hell already

Any XJ's in the Phoenix area? I'd be more than happy to do some runs.
I might be in the minority, but I have an underlying need to find out what the limit of my TH is. I don't want it damaged per se, but to know how far it will go gives me peace of mind when I'm out there solo with my family camping.

It will do a lot more than you think it will. I kept up with a few Wranglers with 3" lifts and 33" tires on some pretty rough trails. Also went through the 3ft deep mud pits like a champ!!

The inner fender looks all bent but maybe it's just the lighting.

Lighting designer who does car shows...I think it is the wrap around the inner wheel well and shadows from the lighting.

Just consulted my TH in the garage up close; lots of angles and molded corners. So I don't thinks it's dents.

I'd be down for taking my stocker XJ up against a KL offroad if my front ring gear wasn't in pieces...
