how axles break.

[prelude]

I came across this lad:

Why axles break on overland vehicles! Part 1 - intro - YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdR9XjmIpKM)

Now that is an informative series of vids (8 in total). He surely gave me food for thought, although I have not put 41" swampers under my P38, I did step DOWN in width from 255 to 235 but UP in diameter van 29" to 31". I think I should be good in the axle breaking department though.

Cheers,

I wonderd why the Power Wagon axle was so bleeding heavy until I saw a picture of one that someone cut in half.
Explains why Ive never heard of one breaking
