Important

[XJosh95]

I have one with 3.55s and LSD I would like to get rid of. All new drum brake stuff too, just needs e-brake cables since I was lazy and cut them. Shoot me a PM and let me know what it's worth to you. Coincidentally I will be in Bremen this weekend, so I could even do delivery.

Comes with U-bolts too, only used once! Let's see if we can get that argument started again.

While you're in town, stop by my old man's place and redeem your prize from atop the fridge.

I just bought Ho-Bags balls....

You will love them.

 

[99SJ_Ex]

You will love them.

I know I will... My trip to SD ate the air-soft bbs I had in the tires when I aired down... Going to make the students vacuum those out and install these.

Now to finish designing my d30 truss, cut it out on the CNC Plasma and get the new 30 under the heep.

Yep. I added it up a few times, it keeps coming up there.

That bling locker is worth it though. Zip or arb? I can't remember what you have. I'll have close to that in my 44 but that's with a air locker and RCVs but then I'll have to buy new wheels for the 5x5.5

The thing is, we are a club that the newest vehicle we idolize is 13 years old. The ultra 4 guys make ifs kick ass. I think its simply the future, and it will work.

Ifs works good for go fast stuff. Ifs works good for ultra 4 because they do a lot of go fast stuff plus some slow stuff. Ifs does not work as good as solid axles if you are building a rock jeep.

If this was the case Toyota guys would not be spending the big bucks to convert their ifs rigs to solid axles. They already have one of the better IFS systems on the market. If it's such a great system why do they throw it away when they build anything larger than an expo rig?

If jeep goes independent suspension Will they make lifts for them? Ya. Will they work? Ya. Will they work as good in the rocks as a CJ, XJ, YJ, ZJ, WJ, TJ or JK? Not an effin chance.

I sometimes wonder if there's a way to build an IFS setup to work well on the rocks... I can think of a few ways, but not sure how to implement them.

Wouldn't that be a ttb setup?

 

[Fore Wheeler]

Walker Evans tried to compete with ifs, he had money and couldn't do it.

I still think the aftermarket will figure it out. Look what they've done with the xj.

shannon cambells IFS buggy seems to do just fine in the rocks... :dunno: IFS crawlers are for the guys who have more money than they know what to do with. i think the cost of fabbing a properly working IFS rock rig is FAR greater than a solid axle rig. add into the headache of building around an existing frame? ya... that sucks.

a lot like our SAE baja cars, i feel like i see the IFS guys bouncing off of the rocks more than crawling them with stupid amounts of flex.

your fine. you havnt even broken a 30.

 

[VAhasnoWAVES]

not always... could be A-arms with CVs. we run a transaxle but it could easily be done with a differential.

SAE baja... ive been playing with IFS too much lately.

What are the job descriptions of the recorder and director on the chapter level?

Seems like you all are trying to slam on me for wanting to create that and have yet to provide me with the information. :conceited
