This will be my last post in this thread since it really makes my head hurt and I get the urge to strangle the life from something. I will say this, knowledge is not a measure of intelligence, it's what you do with the knowledge you have that is the true measure. Repeatedly you have shown a complete and almost arrogant inability to comprehend the knowledge given to you in this thread. Many of us have stated problems in your design that are obvious to us and you shrug them off and continue on with some tangent argument about who knows what. The question in the thread title has been answered more ways than I can conveniently count. The resulting arguments you have put forth are weak and still ignore the facts of the situation in favor of your own ideas.
I would advise you to take the advice given in this thread to heart. It will not hurt us one bit if you build your ideal design of a 2.5 ton 6x6 and then get yourself killed or some other hardship in your travels because you didn't take anyone's council but your own. You will be the one stuck in a lonesome place far from help with broken suspension or axle shafts because you thought in all your wisdom to throw away the concerns of others who have gone before you. Sure, you can put a 454 in A Jeep but you better believe the AMC 20 axle is going to break. You can put a blower on a Camaro or Mustang, but again, parts will be broken since you are exceeding the design parameters of the original vehicle. Spitting the driveshaft out of a street car and have to get towed home is worlds away from the life threatening dangers that could be avoided in the wilderness by designing the vehicle correctly. You are working with a truck designed to haul troops and cargo on dirt roads in bad weather, not a Camel Trophy Land Rover.
Wake up and realize what you propose is dangerous to you, not to us. You inability to use the superior knowledge at hand simply tells us that you are not quite as intelligent as you seem to believe.
