You guys are living proof that the new gen D44 axles are stronger than the previous ones on the jk's....SO FAR!!! Lol :giggle:

Most jks woulda busted an axle by now riding the level of trails you guys ride on stock axles and 38+" tires with no trusses or aftermarket shafts added. I like watching guinea pigs(no offense),but not too many others out there doing what your doing to a new jl. Kudos to you guys for sharing it all...i do enjoy them. :like:

@Kevin8086 any video of that pitch and roll when you almost rolled? Just curious where you were on that gauge. I am glad I watched it because I have leaned less than half of that and thought I was going to roll.

We’re trying our best not to break anything but also push limits. It seems to be working just fine so far. Good thing RCV has axles coming out

I wish I did. I was filming until it got sketchy and then I quit filming and quit paying attention. I need a Cheat mount to record it.

Kevin can you add a Manual trans JL to your fleet, really would like your opinion of it, off road. Not just the mall crawler crowd. on here . Ya i know, but if you talk to FCA ... real nice .

Great video - love your determination and minimalist approach to push the equipment as far as it can go to where wheeling becomes more about the driver. I now have several hours ahead of me watching all the YouTube stuff!

If they gave me one I would wheel it but man idk. Wheeling would be more or a chore with a manual. Sure it can be done and have fun but for multiple day trails it seems like it would get tiring more so than having fun. Definitely adds to the difficulty for sure
