You were right on A Arms. I talked to a couple manufactures, and Racers running the Portals. I will need to go to the CT Race Worx Arms with Mega Ball Joints to not break A Arms with the 6 inch Portals. I am ordering them up tomorrow, and they will be here 12++weeks. Probably arrive next year. I will just install all the warrantied parts for now, and run with a little more finesse until then. When I bought the S3 A Arms they were the only strong option available for the Smart shocks with sensor mounts at that time. They probably would hold up just fine except for a hard side impact like I did on the Escalator.I answered your PM. Waiting on CT Raceworx arms is a good thing, they are worth the wait! But I'm confude, what happened to the S3 arm they were on warranty?
Thanks grasshopper! Glad I could help.You were right on A Arms. I talked to a couple manufactures, and Racers running the Portals.

It has portals. Definitely a rock crawler. LOL!Looks like more for crawling in deep mud then over rocks with those tires.
Maybe they brought it to show what they use on the other end of the USA where there is just mud and Gators.It has portals. Definitely a rock crawler. LOL!
I am not sure why they brought the mud machines to the sand show.
Anything bigger would break something...You’d think they could have found a bigger rock..
Got them Ordered up. CT Race Worx High Clearance Boxed upper and lower A Arms with the Mega Keller Ball Joints installed in the upper and lower arms. Can AM Red. 10-14 weeks out. Did you do the Mega Ball Joints in your Arms?Thanks grasshopper! Glad I could help.
You might be able to get them sooner if you order them raw, unless they can match the powder.
No, kept them stock. Stock ball joints are pretty stout, IMO.Got them Ordered up. CT Race Worx High Clearance Boxed upper and lower A Arms with the Mega Keller Ball Joints installed in the upper and lower arms. Can AM Red. 10-14 weeks out. Did you do the Mega Ball Joints in your Arms?
I figured I better get the biggest ones to be safe since I tend to break things easily.No, kept them stock. Stock ball joints are pretty stout, IMO.
Well, no argument there!😂😂😂I figured I better get the biggest ones to be safe since I tend to break things easily.![]()
I need to go back and find that comment the guy made of spend that many $$ on a ride that will probably never even see the dirt. When I saw that comment I LMAO as I know me, and I know I always need the strongest parts available to help from breaking down. He was only right on one thing I haven't used it much since I bought it 8 months ago with only a 125 miles on it so far. LOLWell, no argument there!😂😂😂
You really need more seat time. The strongest parts mean nothing, everything has a breaking point. The old saying - "crawl before you walk, walk before you run". IMO, you were nowhere near ready enough for Moab. Go out on those trails like you were with the jeep. Learn to "read" the terrain. Learn situational throttle applications. The whole reason for having a SXS is to have fun. Have fun in the easier stuff first, then tackle the tougher stuff. That's my advice.I need to go back and find that comment the guy made of spend that many $$ on a ride that will probably never even see the dirt.

I am a fast learner when it comes to anything motorized, but just not as fast as my talent to break things. I went to Moab to take it Very Easy, and if you listen to the whole hour video I kept saying it over and over take it slow, and won't break anything. That was working out well until I arrived at the Escalator hill climb and I became the main attraction as over 20+ people gathered around that hill climb to watch. At that point I reverted back to my old driving style Fast and the Furious. My whole motto for the day went out the window right there.You really need more seat time.
