Arizona Rock Crawling Daily Driver

Does the longer shaft play in here? It seems like there would be more torsional stress on it due to the length.

That was my line of thought when I mentioned "leverage".

Spin tires, spend money.

Pretty much. Both diffs were wedged. 2-3 tires on sand. Full steering lock. And frustration let me do more wheel spin than I normally do.

Small rocks are cheaper

All other things being equal, the longer shaft will survive a higher applied torque input due to torsional wind up. Or put another way, it will twist further without failure than the short side will.

Jeeez! That honestly looks more like a hiking trail than a jeep trail

 

[hosejockey61]

That looks like a GREAT trail for the 35's group! Excellent video as well! Nicely done!

Would love to have y’all come out for a run sometime! Let me know and we can make it happen.

Hahaha. There I go Web Wheeling again.

It's the only way most of us can keep up with @starkey480 anyways.

It's not to far off course though. Until I bought my Jeep, I was happy just to watch video's of people breaking stuff. Was a lot cheaper than breaking my own stuff. Somehow, I got the urge to go and experience it for myself.

I dream of the day I can finally be on the trail again. But for now @starkey480 will have to do.

Great video! When I was shopping for a TJ, I really wanted an automatic transmission. Makes it so much easier to negotiate obstacles. Automatic transmissions for the win!

I started my search for a manual then some experienced people said get an auto, I'm glad I listened.
