Wow... that looks silly.

Yeup, it's IFS, you can see the short shafts in the first pic. (click)

The front lift is coming from the second crossmember being bolted under the first. I guess that's the Trailmaster lift (dunno). It maintains reasonable CV angles, but the goofy thing about it is that you haven't gained any ground clearance from it.

Lookit the angle of the front driveshaft though... I hope that ain't a stock driveline:

He needs real tires on that thing... He talks about putting 39's on it, I sure hope he understands the concept of regearing.

I dunno... "ewwww" comes to mind overall. I wonder if it's ever been dirty...
