Also with regard to rear wheel size and the fact that it has steering, you need to take into consideration that Tesla has admitted that they have the rear steering amount (degrees of movement) set fairly low right now, but it's a tunable parameter they can change in software. They might open it up for more movement later, so larger tires might have an issue if Tesla sends out a software update.

[@gloredon]

Looks like that rear swaybar is a solid one. You didn't comment on that, but it would makes sense for the smaller rear one to be a solid design. I agree showing the rear bumper cap on was a miss. Are you guys going to make a hidden winch bumper for the front? A skid plate that also goes wide enough to become rocker protectors would be good too. Just so you are aware, aluminum skid plates stick to rocks. Steel ones slide over. For real world use, aluminum isn't usually worth the weight savings.

[@TSportline]

Yes, we'll cover more on another video. We were putting this back together for the customer, so had to rush a little bit.

[@Dave5843-d9m]

Battery tray will be aluminum. Stainless does a better job of skidding off rocks but gives a serious risk of galvanic corrosion hitting the battery case. It could have a thick plastic layer between but aluminum removes the risk. Don’t mix metals. Same issue arises if the thin aero plates are replaced with stainless steel. It can be used but will need plastic washers. Ideally glue them to the stainless so they don’t fall off during fitting.

[@tareskisloki8579]

A lot of trucks don't even have a rear sway bar, so it's no surprise that the rear is significantly smaller. Aluminium with a UHMW coating would probably work best for the skids (a common option among serious rock crawlers).

[@popo_patty]

Great look at parts us gearheads care about! Thanks!

[@brianb-p6586]

@@tareskisloki8579 those trucks without rear anti-sway bars also have leaf springs which resist roll (since they must twist to allow roll), so it's not a direct equivalent. I doubt you'll find a truck (or any vehicle) with an independent rear suspension and no rear bar, but I may be mistaken.

It's the most made in the USA truck. It will pull an F350 down the road backwards until the f350 rims grind down to the axles before it has to charge.

​@@mr.zillasalt5924So tell me you didn't see the video of this vehicle getting stuck off-roading in snowy area while carrying a xmas tree in the bed. It had to be rescued a vehicle in Ford line of trucks. Its pretty much a show pony. Honestly I found it pretty sad that after all that trash talking that guy did, it was a competitor that helped it out. Just saying...

No ball joints are made of plastic. An f350 can tow more than this.

[@LifeIsGoodThankYouGod]

that is one thick skick plate.... nice. this car will last until my great grand children still driving it. lol

[@TSportline]

Right on!

Tesla used a single piston caliber on the rear wheels???

[@AtomSquirrel]

I love when vehicles are easy to lift. I feel like companies are making it harder and harder. Looking at you Ford.

[@TSportline]

this one is easy to jack up / lift

[@Studio23Media]

How difficult would it be to add a winch? 🤔

[@TSportline]

Doable, we are working on that :)

[@timothyorendorff7642]

Yes, wheel spacers, always a good idea.

[@TSportline]

Doable, for sure! Just need to be mindful of when this lowers, that fender clearance matters.

[@markplott4820]

I want 5" lifts for CT and 32" Rock wheels.

[@bartwaggoner2000]

don’t spacers have issues such as durability, and extra stress on bearings etc.?

[@timothyorendorff7642]

@@bartwaggoner2000 Yes, they do and affects alignment to a degree. I was actually being sarcastic in original comment.

[@timothyorendorff7642]

@@bartwaggoner2000 Have also seen them shear off wheel studs.

What kind of watch you wearing? And tell us about those bracelets you wearing.

[@TSportline]

Ha, nice...the details! Watch is a Garmin Fénix smart watch, titanium - I love it, best runner/multi-sport watch ever. The bracelet is David Yurman, gift from my wife

[@thedownwardmachine]

Thanks for publishing this video. It was a little rough but I know you don’t usually do these. With a little practice I’m sure you’ll make them look slick, no worries.

[@TSportline]

Glad it was helpful! We rushed a bit, figured everyone was more interested in getting the info instead of waiting for a better video

[@mjones2305]

Good luck working on that boat anchor when it breaks down. 😂

[@Motorsportsgeek]

Upper balljoints look way to small for the weight of this thing

[@moabman6803]

Agreed. Tie rods are tiny as well.

[@Motorsportsgeek]

@@moabman6803 Rear axle look very thin too for how much torque this thing makes. My corvette suspension is more heavy duty and it weighs half of that

[@TSportline]

Interesting to see the size of the parts for sure
