    Na. Those tires are toast. Looks like they're all still afloat though.

    Hood is flung open so I'm guessing it started under the hood toward the right side. No LED light bars on the Jeep. So winch wiring is the primary suspect, or an OBA compressor if the Jeep had one.

    Interestingly the top is in good shape. Fiberglass FTW

    With all due respect if you are a tire guy that can't read a tire gage........ A couple psi?!? They had 1 job to do....... and yes I am serious.... what moron can't change 5 tires and get the pressure set right, or even close? Time to stop using the valve stems to smoke yer lunch...

    Most vehicle manufactures are using aluminum spar reinforced, aluminum skins panels on a lot of vehicles.
    My doors on the JLU Rubicon are aluminum.
    Saves weight. Ford has aluminum beds, tesla is using aluminum as well as many overseas, high dollar sports cars.

    I just hope this was something 4wp fucked up. (I can absolutely see this as most of these people are morons anyway).

    Oh, I've got no issue with aluminum, I have aluminum bumper and skids on order from SOS right now. I also like my composite bed vs steel. Melting point of a material should not be a factor when deciding what to use. :)

    Yep, one of my main gripes when shopping them. All JL Wranglers and JTs look like they dented doors, from the factory. They must use some very thin gauge.

    The X20 is fine, wire it directly to the battery with a 200A manual breaker.
