Afternoon tbolt
I agree, thats what I put on and as it is my daily driver at this point,
stabilizers are still on except with quick disconnects for off road.

I now wear a helmet offroad in my B2.

Hope you were OK after the roll.

I had mine in a V grove in a gully going down hill on one wheel once on a class 4 trail. Just have to remember to drive it down hill. After that I always wear a helmet when offroad. This is because it beat me up pretty good, but my seat belt held and my head is hard.

I wheel pretty hard, and have a lot of experience, enough to say anything can be rolled offroad.

I have had my B2 on two wheels twice on the road. Once duing a quick turn to the left into a lot on stock tires. Scared my fiance pretty bad, but the lot attendant dove for cover. I put the B2 down safely, and learned a lesson that day. The other, which is why I drive the B2 very carefully now on the interstate was as stated before. Emergency lane change to avoid someone else. Very scarry at 60 mpg. I decided after that just to hit the other person or object if straight line braking dosn't work. I still live by that credo today. These things will roll with just the flick of the steering wheel. I really like my B2 though, just have to know its limitations.

Cheers

Just don't drive stupid

I used to have a '99 wrangler with 5" lift and drove that at 70mph with no sway bars all the time. Just drive sensible and you wont have any issues.
