Strong stuff, still doesnt answer the deflection question. Protecting a NASCAR driver from piercing objects is a completely different type of stress than structural. Its like comparing a bullet proof vest to airplane landing gear

Yes, Im absolutely conflating based on my experience with composite development. Maybe this is a wonder material !! Let's hope! it could save the world....

I mis-spoke, I should have said: "it doesnt matter how TOUGH a material is" Thats my whole point, it doesnt matter if you can shoot it with a gun and it survives, if its floppy, or even semi-rigid, it wont protect your transfer case. IMO this is the wrong application for this material. And I...

I think the disconnect here is that when you develop lightweight parts for racing mustangs, there is a whole different set of priorities - than from product development for off road. A track car disintegrates when it takes a hit. An off road hobby car needs to take a hit and keep going, so...

thanks - yes, absolutely. I am questioning about a large surface, the size of a bash plate. you are illustrating piercing and bending without breaking. That's not deflection. for example, something like this has sidewalls that reduce deflection of the bottom surface. Maybe you could make an...

I am totally understanding you. Its a composite, lets start there. I would ask why I want it for a bash plate, sounds like it would deflect and thus not do the job -

Maybe fenders and skid plates as opposed to bash plates. I think theres gonna be a ton of wild fenders out there - of ABS and other materials. I dont think companies will cut steel molds to make the wild fenders - too much investment. But ABS molds can be cheapish I look at a trophy truck - I...

Ok, I get that and appreciate that - lightweight and wont break. but.... will it deflect? Part of the advantage of steel or aluminum is that its structural - so it will hold up to a hit without deflecting. If it does bend, you hammer it back out. I understand a composite will deflect and thus...

What's the benefit of using these amazing low weight high performance technologies.....for a Bronco? I can see if you are building an extremely lightweight desert racer.... But 99% of users will daily drive, camp, ski, light trail, etc. (of course the deflaters will be haters about this...

sort of a hairdressers car.....

Jeepster never had a full plush interior like this. Conceptually this thing is a mess

My understanding is the Jeepster Beach will never see the light of day except at the event, as a hand built concept. Biggest issue besides the half baked styling exercise is: the top doesn't work when you try to develop one. Too heavy as a one piece, to weird as a multi piece, and a soft top...

- WHAT IS THE BRONCO EQUIVALENT, OF THE NEW JEEPSTER BEACH CONCEPT? - WOULD YOU BUILD ONE WITH THIS FOCUS?

I'm getting a Badlands specifically so I can have a black interior (with Lux) - because all the browns and blues are...... are not a place where I want to spend time. And yes, I have a design degree....

DETAILS PLEASE

If the IRS goes off the manufacturer listing, I think we are disqualified. What's the loophole? Load it up and go to a truck scale?

People should go to a dealer, look at a Bronco Sport, look at the actual field photos online - there are TONS. Dont pick a color by looking on the Ford Website renderings. Duh
