Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if you could run 10-15 without any problems. I've taken mine down to 20 without any problems on trails, obviously not the same as what you're gonna be doing, and been fine.

Normally I drive there so I don’t want to risk a bead but I’m trailering so I might try lower. Right now though I gotta go figure out why my left side brakes are hanging up.

It’s my brother in laws. Stock besides some bilstein 7100’s and wheels and tires. He’s got a rzr 900xp he usually runs but he’s riding shotgun this weekend.

Not just the suspension but the engine as well. Only stalled once on a 30* downhill slope where I was getting bounced around. I’m so happy right now. Did things I couldn’t before because it actually flexed. The tires flexed, the suspension flexed, even got it into the fenders a couple of times which is impressive considering the last time I had stock bump stops and 38’s and couldn’t do that. Even with the front axle pushed forward an inch it was still in the fenders. It just crawled up everything I pointed it at. Gears and some lockers and this thing will be unstoppable. And air conditioning. Damn it was hot today.

Power is fine. Just needs gears bad. Never had to goose it hard but driving around in 4 low is a bit annoying. It doesn’t have the gears to get up anything in 4 hi. Did drop the tires down to 15 with no issues.

I need a trans temp gauge. I know it got hot on a few places where the RPM was going up but the tires weren’t moving. So it’s probably best I don’t know what it’s at haha. Engine temp stayed at 190 and only got up to 200 if I left it idling for a long time.

Heres some more flex pics. We had a guy with a camera taking pictures so once he sends those I’ll post them. Also ran in to a club of old school j10’s and wagoneers.
