    yeah but have you seen the cracks that they develop when they run loaded across corragations or they get launched and landed over unseen dips and grids?

    ...in the days when John Chapman/OME ran the offroad version of rallycross at Catalina, I recall a similar issue with a certain and very famous jeep and its then equally infamous pilot...

    broke in half.... and after so many mods to make it better...

    i seem to recall that 'pinched' fencing wire did the job, camel

    Only where the maintenance has been neglected or the manufacturers work has been stuffed around with by owners or modifiers. This class of North American truck uses high tensile bolts in reamed holes and live damn well in road train service in this country. I owned four White Road Bosses altogether and never had a chassis crack in one of them. The key to this is to check bolts for tightness and if found loose, check that that the holes have not fretted oversize or elongated, or developed cracks from being operated in that condition. Repair work on this materiel needs knowledge and skill. It requires a specific welding procedure with low hydrogen electrodes, and drilling is difficult as it is a work hardening steel. Rigidity is the enemy of road train chassis as they pound to pieces if rigid, but flexing allows everything to jiggle around without the hammer and anvil effect of rigidity.
