So I was replacing a leaky wheel seal when it grabbed my attention. It seems that it would be fairly easy to flip the whole axle upside down and get an extra 6 inches of clearance for big tires. I know there are probably a thousand reasons not to do this but... ya' know... has anybody been high/drunk enough to do that?

 

Yes, there is a good reason not to do that. The car will run backward in forward gears.

 

onese drunk mechanic installed rear axe on Volvo F12 Semi trucktor upside down. we had a lot of fun, two gears forward and 16 reverce....

 

Running backward? Minor inconvenience! All I have to do is flip the tranny and the engine up side down then turn the whole van inside out. No big deal!
I have been driving for 21 years in a forward direction. It is soooo boring! Imagine, how much more fun we could have with a vehicle like that!

The point is someone has been drunk enough to do that.

 

you can't imagine how many funny things I see

some junk electronics and DD series 60 running w/o air filter!
