On the way out I got a flat tire (bent wheel, lost air around the bead of the tire), and discovered my 33x12.5 spare on a stock wheel rubbed the control arms too easy to get me back to the road. So now I've got 3 33x9.5 BFGs, and 1 31x10.5 Treadwright Guard Dog lol. Looks kinda funny
Take me there!

You mean where the LCA hits the bracket on the axle? Not yet, that's not limiting me anymore with the bent RC LCAs. With my steering disconnected, I have enough downtravel to barely unseat the coils before the LCAs hit the brackets.

I can do that. I have to fix my tire and wheel before I go out again, I'll let you know before I go again though.

Not at all. Only issue is sometimes I get smacked with a tree limb, but I love wheeling doorless. I don't put the doors on my Jeep unless its pouring rain, or cold, my doors are off most of the time.

That's no joke. I was told by a police officer once to move my vehicle away from a river. (I parked like 2 feet closer than everyone else) because if it would have rolled into the river it would be a huge mess with fines attached. Blah blah blah

Yeah, but the trail goes through that creek, and another little trail dead ends into the creek right at that waterfall. The guy that owns most of that land gave me permission to do everything I've done out there, so I'm not too worried about getting fined for anything. I do understand where you're coming from though. I don't do anything I think I could get in trouble for, and take care of the land I wheel on so people can continue to wheel out there.
