"So your theory is that if you're running 100 mph and hit a pothole, a stock axle will take the hit just as well as a reinforced axle? Hmmmmm"
And he has a point.

I cracked a wheel at 70 mph when I hit a pothole last November. 30 mph would have made a difference, and probably not for the better. My point wasn't the pothole exactly, but that anything done to strengthen weak spots does help make a jeep safer. Therefore the statement that his reinforced axle was irrelevant to his 100 mph speed is just being controversial in my opinion.

They're connected. Literally...with 5 lugs. Axle was not reinforced. Not sure because it wasn't reinforced. About 6 mph less than a non-laden swallow.

Right, YOU did. The op of the quote never said anything about it. Its a total "what if" situation. So if you're telling me that the axle is reinforced so when you are doing 100 and hit a pot hole it will hold up better thats just retarded. I mean come on........ "What if" I sat in a trash can and made scrambled eggs with an open umbrella? What if???????
