I have to agree with your engineering staff about how amusing both of your arguments are. I do not agree with your statement about intellectual abilities. Charles' argument is just as rediculous as yours.Research? Um no.... both drag, and the friction of the tire were taken into account, then discounted as irrelevant. That is clear in my theory.
And, just so you are clear, I employ a staff of Engineers who just had a good chuckle, as they know that I am not nearly smart enough to debate with you. Of course, they don't spend much time on the trail either.,
Hit the books, the trail, and go get laid, grasshopper.

Sorry Charles, I meant calculation. There are way to many variables unaccounted for in this scenario to make any determination of force and which plane those forces occurred on. Without some radiography of the welds and some metallurgy of the materials involved, we don't even know if you could have popped that weld apart by pressing on it gently with your pinky finger. We can only accurately calculate two things in regards to this event.... 1- 100% of the people with evo oil pan skids did not bust their oil pans that weekend and 2- 100% of the people in this thread that have spoke with Mel on the phone about how his parts underperformed think he is a pompous prick.

So Charles not that it really matters , but back to part of my original question. What area of the trail did you cake the skid on?

Stacy,
I was going around a flat turn and a rock ended up being rolled in front of me by Rick's Jeep. I tried to drive over it and ended up falling off it. When I fell off of it (jeep slid passenger) the rock rolled on top of another rock and wedged between my oilpan and driveshaft.

I'm an aromatherapy salesman not an english professor but it's half way between redonkulous and ridiculous. You use it to describe things like having a snork on a JK. DuhAnd you....

:lol:
Not to beat a dead horse, but looking at this closer, that weld was perfect. Had the weld broken off either piece, you would have a definite claim, but it cracking down the middle tells you that the weld has 100% penetration(or at least enough to exceed the strength of the two pieces of the skid. Ideally, that weld should have torn a chunk out of one of the pieces, but it was a massive shock that it took, and the weld cracked.Waiting on evo to decide if they want to warranty my oil skid.

Now I'll agree with you on EVO being rude, but the skid did it's job, and didn't fail because of any manufacturing defect, just the nature of welding.

JK-Jam, I don't think I ever want to wheel with you. I don't ever want you anywhere near my Jeep! Whatever evil curse is on you or your jeep is some bad voodoo which I want no part of!
But seriously. That brings the suck.
