Who? and why?

If there really big aggressive tyres then it will speed the breakages up be more often too

I wouldn't agree with that statement..., breakages of half-shafts, etc, are usually down to aggressive right and left foot operations whilst driving on iffy terrain, IMO

Not been funny but how can you disagree with that statement :huh:
Its pretty simple really isnt it, torque=forcexradius
If you put 200 Nm through 31" wheels then upgrade to 35's you will put almost 15% more torque through the drive train. Or do you simply remove your foot from the accelerator by 15% and NEVER use full throttle....

i agree also
ino people running 35inch simex, with lockers and tweaked tdi's
and there yet to break owt
driver and groundreading
knowing when to back off the load pedal
and just giving up and getting the winch out

I know lots and lots and lots of people with standard vehicles who have never broken anything. Does not really change the fact that you are operating outside the design parameters does it?
extreme90:
bits of paper mean nothing really :roll:
35 inch simex and air locking diffs are far from the origional design but with no breakages and running on std shafts, that proves that its not so much the design
but driver thats more to blame
ok, forcing a land rover up a 6ft vertical waterfall is a completely different senario than generall offroading, thats just taking the p*** if on std shafts
but do you get my point ? :-.
CNorman:
I do yes, and i do agree with you as well but it isnt just "a bit of paper" is it? How do you think they designed it in the first place, they wont have had a talk about it they will have beased it on some calculations
