I'm really surprised they went with 35"s instead of 37-40"s

They are running it in the stock class, which has a 35” tire limit. To be even close to competitive in the stock modified class, they would need to do EXTENSIVE modifications to the body, frame, suspension, and an engine swap. Time, and the parameters of their agreement with Jeep likely limit that.

They also changed the rear to a triangulated 4 link. This thing will have a lot of travel

Armor going on:

I wonder if they're reinforcing the frame at all. I hope not. Would be fun to see how the JT holds up.
