They never mention how stupid they look

I know, I know... function over form. However, I'm not sure you're getting much "function" out of a crappy Rubicon Express bolt-on long arm, so in this case we default to "form". And in this case... that form is ugly

I think you meant dis-function over form...which includes the 15X12 wheels!

I was going to make a joke about long (human) arms and knuckles scraping the ground 'till I looked at the picture and saw that they give a Wrangler the same look

Wow...that is a very black Jeep.

The chrome diff cover sold me on it.

Damn that frame is shiny....

I know lots of salt state guys would love that frame Does a gloss finish help with water repellancy? I feel like it would.

Yep that guy really knew what he was doing when I built that TJ.

I just think Monster Jam when I see arms like that.

Swap arms with legs and most would like

I’m going to start calling jeeps like long-legs instead of long-arms.

Idk...I feel like they would get hung up

What arms?

 

[Wildman]

Not going to get into the Long Arm vs Mid Arm vs Short Arm arguement but back when long arms were the GO TO thing this was why I went with the Nth Degree long arm instead of RE or others.

No arms hanging down. Now does it work as well as Savvy's mid arm? Nope but for that it is it works better than other kits on the market back in 2005.

Nth had some amazing products back in the day. I usually only see that kind of suspension in the dunes

What’s wrong with them? The frame side mounts to low? Is that what the issue is?
