no poo poo, christ I jumped a curb at 40MPH in my Celebrity, all I needed was a new rim and an alignment.

Subaru's are the same, my mother drove over a curb going 60 (cut a corner) and kept driving for 10km afterwards with a completely flat/destroyed tyre. The suspension was still good.

Can I post pictures of electric motor failure? As i see some pretty epic stuff on a regular basis. Can anyone say 250mm diameter snapped shafts?

I was surprised that I didn't even get halfway to the bump stops when I completely filled my bed to the rails with wood this summer. We packed it tightly, too. If you're rubbing, you're probably at double your payload rating.

I dunno about that , i put 1040kg into a 98 hilux. The rear axle is rated for 1750kg but the wheels were only 1.5 inches away from scrubbing on the wheel wells.



Hummer H2's are TINY inside at least the one i sat in. Plastic interior, cheap seats and i had more space in my lovely mitsubishi magna.

Guessing this is the rating as the truck hits the scales, not "in the bed".

Yeah i guessed that when the sidewalls touched the ground :S. Bout the same time an old bloke asked me if id ever seen leaf springs go the wrong way round.

I had recently heard of an amazing mechanical failure but alas i was to late to get pictures. My friends car managed to throw not a rod or a piston but half a camshaft!

The intake cam somehow managed to break in half and partially eject itself out of the block? Everyone including the wreckers who picked it up was totally stunned by it.
