Is there a B6G coupon code for purchasing this amp? Are there ever any sales offered?

To obtain solutions with high fidelity a properly constrained problem must necessarily exist. The greater the constraints the more exact the solution. 2 +2 is a highly constrained problem with an exact solution. x + y = is a poorly constrained problem with an infinite number of solutions...

ChatGPT is awesome. I ask it everything. I have completely stopped thinking on my own. It makes every decision for me. No idea how I made it through life before.

Strengths are probably on the lower side with ductility on the higher side. The failure images seemed to corroborate this, lots of plastic deformation before failure. Decent ductility. I would thing the goal is to maximize strength and still get some ductility at a reasonable cost. Not sure...

what do you think about the yoko x-at? Don’t hear much about them. Found these charts on tire rack.

That results in a 60 mm scrub radius, SAS is 15 mm. A factor of 4x. Looks good though.

I am also not a fan of Nittos (hard rubber). I am definitely leaning towards the Baja boss. I hate the mud, just getting old I guess. I can usually avoid the nasty stuff by planning accordingly. I will probably be best served with the A/T for my next set.

it sounds like you and I have similar use cases. I have about 30k miles and if I am being honest about 500-1000 miles offroad at the most. I have been out about 20-25 times. We try to get out as much as we can. Take the dogs with us. I think a lot of people overestimate their offroad usage. I am...

I wonder if the 74weld portals are smart enough to also engage brake maintenance mode when the calipers fall off. 🤔

From a “friend” that is an engineer… the three F’s right back at you.. Fck you, Fck you, Fck you. 🤣🤣🤣 just kidding, couldn’t help my self. You are most probably correct. There is nothing better for an engineer than a good machinist.

different thread to do that effort justice. The only thing 20 pages of portals has taught me is that I can probably use them to pump out my mom’s basement when it floods. No brake calipers needed for that.

put some numbers into a spreadsheet. Based on OEM SAS hard points for rear links from CAD geometry. attached are some figures of anti-squat about rear pitch instant center. shown are 30” tires (since I think this is an oem configuration), 35s, 40s, and 40s with portals. Anti squat is positive...

No doubt you have experience with design and development of portal components. No doubt these components have been tested fairly rigorously throughout the many years of racing experience and recent consumer product development… but in NO way do you guys do thorough and rigorous system level...

this may be precisely the level of critical thinking that went into system level testing at 74weld. Wait just a minute.. are you a consultant? seriously though the system level testing is not in the same universe as aerospace applications. Fully understand the resource limitations that lead to...

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😁 system level testing vs component level

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Preload is very misunderstood. If you don’t understand accutune’s comment then you need to rethink your life choices. Seriously though it is important to appreciate what this means. to add further to this thought, again more theoretical but meaningful. The spring rate is designed for the...

I always knew who the smart ones on this forum were. And yeah I don’t believe @popo_patty has ever used a floppy disk. Needs to be a 5 1/4 for it to count.

Of course unsprung mass matters but it can be tuned out by the damper. My academic background drives me towards more theoretical discussions. There most definitely exists an ideal spring rate for your given as built Bronco that satisfies your use case. That requires an infinite number of spring...

absolutely. You guys do a great job. Just some additional thoughts on spring rates that many folks don’t consider. Damping can overcome and control lots of suspension responses. It is pragmatically a much easier parameter to control than spring rate and thus has much more profound real world...
