An ounce of reinforcement is worth 100 mph of cure? :thinking:

Can someone start a 40's and no lift thread and 100+MPH and 37's thread. This is getting entertaining.

Ummmm I believe someone said this in in response to you saying I means nothing that his axle was reinforced.

"So your theory is that if you're running 100 mph and hit a pothole, a stock axle will take the hit just as well as a reinforced axle? Hmmmmm"

And he has a point.

At 100 mph if you get down to the physics of it, there would have to be one hell of a pothole, like a ditch, to make a difference on an object going that fast in a straight line on an essential plane. :thumbsup:

I cracked a wheel at 70 mph when I hit a pothole last November. 30 mph would have made a difference, and probably not for the better. My point wasn't the pothole exactly, but that anything done to strengthen weak spots does help make a jeep safer. Therefore the statement that his reinforced axle was irrelevant to his 100 mph speed is just being controversial in my opinion.

I said shit about a pothole.

What does a cracked wheel have to do with a reinforced axle? Was your axle reinforced? If it was, do you think had it not been that your wheel would not have cracked? Do you know the airspeed velocity of a laden swallow? :thinking:

They're connected. Literally...with 5 lugs. Axle was not reinforced. Not sure because it wasn't reinforced. About 6 mph less than a non-laden swallow.

Wrong.

If the swallow wasn't going at least 100 mph it's irrelevant anyway, reinforced axle or otherwise. :cool:

Right, YOU did. The op of the quote never said anything about it. Its a total "what if" situation. So if you're telling me that the axle is reinforced so when you are doing 100 and hit a pot hole it will hold up better thats just retarded. I mean come on........ "What if" I sat in a trash can and made scrambled eggs with an open umbrella? What if???????
