OMG that is awesome. Must be a tremendous strain on suspension.

Must be a tremendous strain on suspension.

As cool as it is, this is a good example of people who can weld but don't understand structure. The strain on the factory steering and suspension is enormous.

Yesterday, one of my students was showing me a "U-Tube" build of a desert truck he wanted to copy. I showed him pictures of what it was suppose to look like. He was confused about why a "shop" would instruct people wrong. My response was "money from views".

True on all accounts. But to compound things further, the Cybertruck suspension has been failing on its own even with no modifications.

Is that street, dirt or both?
To me, the suspension was not designed for what we do but more along the lines of adverse conditions on the street. I put these in the same category as an AWD car.
