everything is a food source for something. you mourn way to easy. be happy it died quickly so you didn't have to bash it with a tire iron, and move on. A friend of mines brother, whom we call "caveman", would have picked that up. call caveman next time. its like mutual of omahas wild kingdom...

did you kill anything yet? dont kill a turkey. cleaning them sucks and so do they. i dont get the turkey thing, its one protein mass production farming has done us a favor with.

they only advertise a 470.

Wierd.

you dont do miles of washboard. sfa trucks can shake themselves appart in central america or australia. well... sfa defenders. it also depends on the speed you are going. you get into the Andes racing from town to town, and its a ***** keeping a 4 door nissan patrol close to a nissan ifs...

I agree mr misogyny. like women arguing with their 5 year old about the toy they want, but todays rules dont let you ***** slap them upside the head.

sorry. fanchild. how many marks have you run? if i typed irs i intended ifs. my most sincerest apologies.

that was dumb statement. i wheeled it to retirement. last iteration was mt baja ttc, iroman heavy front bars, dialed down to 1.5 inches, Bior drop kit, ome heavy rear with 1" spacers for the bump stops, metaltec LCA's, no sway bars. set up so the rear did most of the articulation. uca's...

note the second sentence in post #10, fanboy. i ran scca, and like i said then, a well sorted geometry on a sra mustang will kill a stock ira corvette... but that was on the ideal surface, and not against the best sorting of an ira vette. and the durability of either system had nothing to do...

torque steer??? i never had an issue with anything, and the bigger the tire the more the ifs shines on washboard, or asphalt jungle potholes. its no comparison. how bad did you set that up?

no it is not. you will rebuild the front of an 80 on 35's before a 100, simply because axle configuration has nothing to do with it. engineering does.

you confuse manufacturing process and expense with durability. sas conversions allow for articulation i discussed earlier. but youre right, and OshKosh tak 4 suspention is no match for an 80 reverse Solid axle. ****** were they thinking????

shezimm got a ford escape from her company, and unless i buy her out now, i lose my next luxowheeler project. i can get another G for that. the math doesnt work with my genetic inclinations toward frugality. sigh. well, i always thought this could be the real successor to the 100, but i never...

when you said it was a smokin', deal, did you mean it was doing that after the test drive?

the 1hz has a power curve that rivals that of a 2f... barely. (7 main bearings tho!) it was slow in 25 years ago traffic, and the world is now paved. The troopy is a van on a medium pickup body so it ought to be a great platform, but i think youre better off getting a newer truck you can buy...

that a an auto 1fz in there? just curious.

dont know, but post 12 is fanboy!

What ding dong set your truck up? the worst comment i got was "holy ****, this drives like a Cadillac on road, and doesnt even ding a piont on a challenge trail". ... and i used CHEAP parts. no uca's, no special shocks. how do you **** up castor on 1.5 inches of lift on an irs? its all i...

ive absolutely hammered the my 100, and its quite and rattle free. the engine never had an issue "cough.. head gasket... cough" the IFS is built sturdier and can sustain more wear with large rubber than the front axle of an 80, the live axle strength advantage is an old wives tale. the cabin...

100s are bomb proof and big leap in build quality to an 80. To remove the ahc, you just buy a 100 lift kit. All the hard points are same. The ride is much nicer in a 100 ahc and standard. Unless you're going to build a rig capable of some super serious wheeling, the ifs is better than the...
