It's easy to say that, after your calculations... However, this was never seen in mass numbers before and people do MUCH harder things with these vehicles that we did.That, and your calculations are theoretical based on "estimated" numbers... Which you're now preaching as fact.Of course a bent frame is mechanical damage, I'm illustrating that NOTHING else was affected in any way aside from the frame... I would expect to see other stuff fail long before a frame would, in my experience with many other off road vehicles.This doesn't need to be a debate, I have my opinion on how we drove the trucks, you have yours... Let's leave it at that and stop polluting these informative threads.
