Ground clearance.

unfortunately for me. I probably fall in the ladies category then. then again it can’t be all that difficult with those portals. Maybe I can even stand underneath while working.

There’s caring about clearance and caring about tire size. Two different mindsets both related to tire size.

Breaking a steering rack can’t be fun. I wouldn’t want to do a rack swap on the trail. Or even carry a spare rack just in case. A hoss 3.0 rack is a good value for larger tires. Not terribly expensive. A suspension lift with increased CV angles also comes with increased tie rod angles, so...

Ford developed the Bronco to have different spring rates between the different trim levels purely based on vehicle weights (not cost of trim levels). One of the design intents was surely to maintain similar suspension frequency response between all the different vehicle weights. Ford did not opt...

The tierod thing just cracks me up every time. it is much better for your tierods to break than your steering rack, end of story. This is a purposeful design philosophy. Tierods are not designed to break, nobody ever said “damn I want to break a tierod today”. But everyone that has broken one is...

perhaps they changed their earlier designs from 300m to 4340. 74weld guy should be able to answer that.

Very disappointing. No chance the 74weld guy is ever popping up again. I have some vibranium axle shafts I can sell you. 10k each.

I can’t offer much help with your questions, but I sure am feeling like your puppy right about now.

yes. For you I recommend bright pink… and don’t forget about the door handles.

The oem kinematics of the front control arms results in the following plots. Most struts will fall between these limits. first plot is with oem SAS struts: 17.06” and 23.31” compressed and extended lengths. second plot is for RK struts (which offer the most travel I have come across): 17.5”...

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. 🤔
