I switched to a simple, but heavy duty one from rock krawler. Very happy with it. And much stronger.
Rock Krawler has been coming up in my radar a lot more recently. I kinda passed them over a while back thinking they weren’t really that good of stuff. I’ve educated myself since then.
The theory would be, the bigger the tire dia/width/MT vs street stockies, and terrain bolder bashing it’s going to heat up similar to a wheel shock does, can’t say it will foam the fluid inside, but I’ll take more fluid every time. I run the falcon pass through shaft, spendy but I love the adjustable settings especially on the freeway and trails.

(A little, cant expect too much when I grew up in Louisiana.)
so the trend continues.
I've seen it both ways, but design is the widely used variant and what all CAD software companies will say as well. Technically its computer-aided design and drafting, so really either way is correct.
Yep, but I used to live in your area too. Off of 9 Mile in Cantonment.and you live in So Cal...

Meaning anyone old enough to have actually been required to learn basic drafting in school?
I need to do more of that. Works great, and I sometimes forget that it’s a great option. I’ve been looking at the costs of the rocker protection plates out there. It’s insane how much vendors want for a flat piece of aluminum or steel with one single bend in it. I’m strongly considering buying some sheet metal and making my own. I can avoid huge laser cut vendor logos, and contour the top line exactly as I want it.Drafting does sounds more techy cool. I’m personally more on the cardboard aided design side of things.
I draw up a lot of the things I need in CAD and then send it off to a local shop to cut and form whatever I need. If I need something machined I'll check places like Send-Cut-Send for prices. It's far cheaper than buying it outright, and I can design it the way I want it.
Great idea. Love it. Do places like that bend as well? I can cut, and bend up to 12” wide stuff, but if I wanted to do larger stuff, I’d be looking for a used really wide brake.
My local shop can do anything I need, or at least to this point has. Send-Cut-Send can form parts but has some limitations, but not sure what. I usually only send small parts to them like brackets and mounts. I save the larger stuff for the local shop.
