Although I don't know this for sure, I do not think the example is using a 19.5 tire.

Two things. 1) No one is being driven crazy. Just being playful. Kind of like the way one plays with a cat with a flashlight. Great entertainment. 2) this is a great article. In particular in this case is the bit on Dogmatism . "Treasure defines this deadly speaking sin as "the...

The lady doth protest too much, methinks

Lol. I had to go back to figure out what the hell you were even taking about. Haha was that a "call out"? Maybe it would make me feel more lowly if I was smart enough what an IFS was. For what it is worth I just thought it was pretty ironic that in the mega "Jeep rules the off-road world...

This is contrary to everything I have read. Thx for the real world info. Anyone want to take a pic of their 19.5 at 25 psi❓

Thanks. I hesitate with the 19.5's as more Baja trips are in the cards for us, and not being able to air these down causes me concern with their effectiveness. Seems like it is the only game in town however.

I saw a Jeep the other day with a Washington Redskin Bumper sticker. Can this thread go away now too...:coffeedrink:

And this is where the 'spin' of the conversations tends to go. Did they derate the GVW based on the wheel/tire, or due to any change in loading going to the SRW? Next is that I believe your alloy wheel is only rated for the lower/derated axle capacity correct? Thanks

Thanks for the info. I have searched and I seem to come up with bits of the issues and a have yet to be able to find a complete discussion. Here is the info I am looking for when going with srw. 1) any issues in strength, load rating, and reliability with a change in geometry for the axles...

What is the latest on SRW's for the fuso? I am looking for wheels that do not reduce the GVW allowance. In addition what is required for installation. Axles? Spacers? Fender or front step mods? Tire and size issues. Any and all info is greatly appreciated. Love these . . EDIT:: ...

Hard to tell from the photo but it looks like the aggregate in the pavement is pretty large. How did the Jeep do?

When u r a hammer, everything looks like a nail. :sombrero:

Well that would be the applied loading... What are these results we are seeing. They do not appear to be bending or shear stresses. Deflection?? Not questioning, just have questions.

So pugs what stresses are we looking at in the pic. I can't figure it out. Thx.

What program is that? In the hands of the right person this could be way cool. . Very interesting. So what stresses and loading are we looking at? fixed ends with spring supports or? Thanks. Now I am really interested. Haha

Yes, you are spot on. This truss design was a tried an tested proven design. . My one and only point is really just a word or two of caution. We should all be very careful when modifying members in a design, or loading the vehicle in a manner that is outside of the parameters for which it...

Yes and history (ancient and modern) has shown us that in order for that 'anyone' to build it strong enough they first had to build one or two that collapsed. . Oh yes, and as always: Light, Strong, Inexpensive. Pick any two you want.

Yeowza. I am not aware of any situation where drilling a hole in a beam makes it stronger in any way. But hey I have been wrong before. . This thread increases my awareness that there are people who think that the structural members size (thickness, thinness, height, weight etc) , shape...

Damn that is a fun looking rig! Wouldn't that look sweet parked out front. :Wow1: You ref that this is about the price of a stock truck. Maybe I missed it, but what year is this? What were you thinking about when you talked about something bigger and something Toyota? A Tundra? or...

Clearly important in the discussion. But there is much more than that. . In generalized terms the bending loads on a simply supported beam or frame rail with a uniform load increase by the square of the length. So if one were to increase the wheelbase for example by 20% then the bending...
