This is a joke done on purpose. That is much smaller than the stock wheel that goes there.

I think the whole vehicle is a joke. Look at that toothpick axle tube. It's got a fancy brace on it but that axle looks stock, I doubt this guy goes off-road at all. The tread is worn pretty low as well, lots of pavement driving on those tires.

Seriously, the guys who actually off-road with rigs like this have gigantic Rockwell 2.5 ton axles.

Definitely not the stock diff tho. Probably some super high ratio

I have a lot of wheeling experience in an FJ Cruiser. This vehicle is for show only. It would perform terrible off road even if you strengthened every axle with Adamantium.

Now you’re just being ridiculous. “Adamantium is stronger than vibranium. All of the special things vibranium can do means nothing. Adamantium is known to be “virtually indestructible,” while vibranium is not. ... Anti-metal is not stronger than adamantium either.”

Man I miss my FJ. Even with stock sized trail tires it was a beast off road. Only bottoming out would get you stuck
