Could be. I'll give it a try later today at the airport.

From driving my truck I am sure to give people plenty of room and I have only had to panic stop once since 2006. The JKs brake package when you start adding some extra weight is definitely inadequate, but most of it is readily combatted with precaution although I'm ready to spray down the airfield as well and do some skid past tests.

yeah, I figured as much, expecially considering I'll likely be adding upwards of 600 lbs to mine, and only removing about, like, 5 lbs (carpets, lol)
