Re: Automotive myths
Yeah, back when 36"+ tires came out the auto myth was you could jack it up to make them fit and you had a badass 4wd. I guess I was one of them. I ran 37/14.50s on Dana 44/Dana 60 axles with 4.10s and 4spd. It actually seemed pretty bad. Most new trucks at that time had gutless engines, taller gearing, lighter rear end, and automatic transmission. I never broke an axle, after I replaced the outer and spindle the p.o. broke, I suppose, joyriding it one more time. It only had 11-15s then, but had Warn Loc-O-Matics that would break if you wheeled w/o manually locking them. I learned that the hard expensive way myself.
