Jeep Beach was in Daytona this last weekend. I happened to be driving across the state from Pensacola back home to the Jacksonville area on I10 Sunday after the event ended. There were COUNTLESS JLs on trailers with what I could only guess were 26 inch wheels going West on to the the next Jeep with low profile tires show.

Apparently it is this jeep, can't find the story though

Probably the same day but the video stops just after Golden Crack and there's no mention in the comments.

For some reason, it didn't come through for me, so I looked it up:

Typical smartphone user - at least it was horizontal!

If ever there was anyone who needed to be bitch-slapped, it's the owner of that atrocity!

The vomiting emoticon does not even come close to expressing how I feel about that one.

I'm particularly fond of the rear wing m'self...for downforce, of course. Surely we all know how important aerodynamic grip is when running fire roads or rock crawling. I'm honestly surprised more members here don't have them.
