But, SPAM?? Shit man, that's just gross.
I've never seen a CV break like that, either. Was it an HD joint of sorts, or just a stocker?
And I still wonder why people buy TJM, ARB, or Bearmach bumpers....

JSQ said:On the topic of armor, it was intersting for me to see three different styles of sliders all fold up to some degree. The RTE Corsair edition with wings, the Dreadnoughts and the Mantecs on the 90. My RTEs were the worst, not because they necessarily bent further, but because the nerfs made the door blockage worse. But all in all, they all folded to some degree.
I think it comes back to Kyle's "coke can" theory: no matter how well thought out and how beefy it is, you're still just bolting it to a soft piece of aluminum.
It makes me wonder what I can really do to improve it for my next trip in October.
I may bend the RTEs back down and then run outriggers to the frame, dual mount style. The nerfs sure were nice on those Rubicon pivot turns, so I hate to give them up, but then I like not having to climb through my window.
