How many things are wrong in this picture?

What would happen if you tried to turn the steering wheel sitting still with the brakes on hard?

A cooked ps pump?

 

[Jablinski]

The tires won't want to roll as they pivot around the SAI, where the SAI is inboard of the tires. Steering will be very difficult. It isn't unlike turning with a locked rear axle.

SAI ?

SAI ?

Steering axis inclination

Close but backwards. The tires HAVE to roll when they turn. If you turn right, the left side tire has to roll forward and the right side tire has to roll backward. If you put the brakes on hard, as soon as all the slack is out, the steering locks up because it can't skid the tires across the pavement. If it has a selectable locker, you can make it do the same by locking the diff. When the slack it taken up in the splines everywhere, the steering locks up with the brakes off.

SAI ?

Steering Axis Inclination. Or, draw a line through the upper and lower ball joint center lines and project that to the ground. It needs to intersect somewhere approximately near the center of the tire's contact patch.

The steering would not turn.

The steering would not turn.

Yep, locked up solid.

A cooked ps pump?

Depends on how long you hold it in bypass.

 

[machoheadgames]

Yep, locked up solid.

“Stops nice and straight!”

That tells me that even with hydro assist, the tires (those tires) won't skid.

 

[deadbeat son]

Assuming that one left the adjuster sleeve loose and the cylinder clamp did cause it to turn, it wouldn't be fucking up the toe, it would be fucking up the steering wheel center.

Yes, my post was meant to be a joke. Ha ha, joke’s on me, wrong adjustment!

Did you miss the red label part of the 39" Krawlers? A normal tire won't skid, those even less so.

That's what I was contemplating

He needs some Patagonias

Now that you've contemplated a bit, what logic was used to build something with that much money thrown at it and get every single aspect of it that matters wrong?

Is the Red Label the Stiky designation?

 

[mrblaine]

Is the Red Label the Stiky designation?

Yes. Blue labels are DOT, reds are off highway only per the sidewall.

The same logic that made someone think a 6 wheeled gladiator was a good idea?

I have no problem with a 6 wheel JT as long as it was done well.

It wasn't
I'm guessing the rig was built for 37's, and someone wanted to go bigger, but didn't want to go full width due to cost or local regulations.
