I don't think anything would hold up to that kind of abuse for very long.
-
was thinking the same thing

That needs also a very weak frame.

That's why they use peterbilts. They are so limber that they ride great and can get that frame twist with those high horse motors. Problem is they don't hold up to the abuse real long that's why I hate them for an off road environment.

so you don'T think petes will hold up good for logging i have a w900l and was wondering about there rears because if they can hold that type of abuse they would work good in the woods for me

I've run Pete's in the oil patch and I've run KW's right along side them and at the end of the year I looked up how many times each were in the shop and the KW's spent far more time in the field. They also held up better on the interior and had far less squeaks and rattles. As far as the drivetrain goes they're not truck specific so you can get those rears in any truck. Because they are in Canada I would bet that they're running 46k Eatons with 18spds and big motors what looks like great big power in that video though is just a whole lot of frame twist on that Pete. Not saying he doesn't have big power tho. As far as the woods go I like a stiffer truck in an offroad situation than a Pete would ever dream to be.
