Oh wow.... Who was that guiding you when you popped the tire? And what popped it?
Wasn't the guides fault. Seems to be an issue with the Jeep JKU, specifically the Sahara model with the 255/70/R18 tires. We had the sway bar disconnected and tied up, as most seem to do, but these tires are large, even for stock. Large enough that when your articulating into a turn, and at full stuff, the tire will rip itself open on the disconnected sway bar. I haven't disconnected since, and probably wont until I get proper disconnects, or a lift that can space me out.

It happened to a buddy of mine as well on the same day who was also in his stock Jeep doing the newbie run, with the same tire size.

Yah... Your guides should have known that since it is a known issue... :( It's a very hard lesson to learn that way.

I was just wondering who the guide was because it looked like a friend of mine but I didn't know she guided for them. lol

It looks like you were at the step back with the two towers on top.
