I don't know why we have the obsession with leaving absolutely nothing on the table. To truly leave nothing on the table leaves us with nothing even resembling a TJ. Everything includes compromises, even the WTJF holy grail of TJ builds.
But as far as maximizing...I see a frame that is farther out of the way of a drag link, farther from rocks, shock mounts and body mounts that are raised without having to chop them up, rear AND front frame sections that are farther out of the way, a skid that leaves room for any transfer case I want to put there...all stuff that other methods address, with lots of work. But it seems like it accomplishes a lot to me.
I have no dog in this fight and getting any midarm or longarm kit on my rig is so far out that it's purely hypothetical. I'm just calling out the attitude and thought process that has become the norm here that anything that isn't done the way a handful of members here would do it is inherently wrong, before anyone has even had their hands on it. Blaine and Savvy and you and jjvw and some others have found a way that works well for you, on your rigs, with your priorities, in your part of the country, but there's more than one way to skin a cat. Before we get behind our keyboards and dismiss something because of arm length or a COG that's 3/4" higher let's see somebody wheel it and prove it's up to the task or it's not. So far we've got 8 pages of web wheeling.
