Many, many, many, too many variables to give an empirical evaluation and resulting hard and fast number. All of that means nothing if you are going to tow for any appreciable distance. 7000lbs for a 100 miles, you'll be tired of that before you get back. 7000 lbs for 3000 miles? You'll...

That is probably a multi use casting insert that is re-usable. There is no 8 lug design for that wheel. And look at all that nice void in the Chinesium casting will you?

Yep, I'm not anywhere near my truck. You will likely have to dig for the information, but I can assure you the installation of an LR E tire, and the air pressure required to obtain the maximum load @ value will exceed the maximum inflation pressure of the wheel.

Design burst pressure and maximum operating pressure are certainly different numbers. I will guarantee that maximum operating pressure of the wheel on that Gladiator is nowhere near 100psi.

Any additional "toughness" is incidental to the strength of the cord material used to allow for higher inflation pressures, there are typically no additional plies. Added "toughness" is consequential, the "carcass" strength is relevant only to inflation pressure, and the rigidity you are looking...

Probably on the tag in the driver's door it will give the wheel dimensions and ledge design (like 17x7.5JJ).If not it will be cast/forged/stamped into the back of the wheel. Generally speaking max wheel inflation is about 5-10psi greater than max tire inflation

I'm not talking about the tire, I'm talking about the wheel. Load capacity is a function of air pressure and volume. To increase capacity, you will have to increase pressure, which then brings the max inflation pressure of the wheel into consideration. An LR E tire inflated to 50psi will...

What is the maximum inflation pressure of the wheel? That will tell you if you are able to get more capacity than you currently have with the oem tires

I could have easily built my own from wood,metal or composite. Assuming 8 hours to build at my normal rate the time spent doing so would have had me well north of 50% of the cost to buy, plus materials. If I didn't put any value on my time not so much but I sell my time so why wouldn't I...

Probably get by with that in Maryland, might even get 95% of the population to surrender their pointy sticks. But if you're coming to Texas you should probably wear your body armor and drive really fast.

Nothing to it with a plasma cutter and some 1" stock. Heat treat would be a little bigger problem but certainly not insurmountable.

If you want normal operation and 35`s, you're going to want to regear to 4.56 Or you can just accept the fact that 8th gear is no longer needed

I know, sometimes absent facial expression and vocal intonation some content and intent is lost. Then we are left to imagine the circumstances we personally would use that language. Maybe he does think someone is a fool for spending that kind of money on a plate. Someone else may look at a...

Maybe a little over reaction there, try some decaf. There is nothing wrong with posting alternatives, if it isn't what interests you just scroll on by, but there is no need in berating somebody for posting something you personally feel is impertinent, as it may be exactly the impetus needed to...

Nobody with any sense has been paying MSRP since the initial LE order. Well, unless they were just too lazy to make a deal.

Pretty obviously it will sell all the trucks they want to, because they aren't giving them away. Ford sells more trucks than anyone on the market and are losing money. Letting the market determine value is how it should work. Letting the market tell you what to sell for is something entirely...

Selling to a price customer is obviously always about price. The customer has no loyalty other than to price. If you lost a half million dollar sale over a $50 “fee": Your product has an identity problem Your service is no better than your competitor Somebody should have waived the fee You...

First world problems, you could be a trash collector in Wuhan... But seriously most of the problems I have had with vehicles have been far more about shitty service from dealership knuckleheads than about the actual vehicles themselves. Except for Volkswagen, they had genuinely shitty...

Overland gets all the creature comforts, Rubicon gets all of those comforts and adds capability to it. If you don't think it is an upgraded Overland, then explain all the creature comforts found on an Overland and Rubicon that are not present on any of the Sport models. The capabilities the...
