Solid axle was standard, IFS was an option (I think?). In '96 they didnt switch to the newer coil-sprung front IFS they stayed with the torsion bar IFS.

Our 4Runners have had ifs since 87....In the Luxes or pickups I think you call them? The SR5 and extra cabs had ifs from 90-91. The base models continued with a live axle until the end of 97. From late 97 until 05 all the Luxes have had that same ifs setup. The new ones 05 on are coilover setup like your rigs. Australia has been the carmakers dumping ground for years they just keep running out all the leftovers to Oz LOL.
While I am here a quick update on the Lux barwork is just about to be sent off for powdercoating. I have also pulled the pin on the sas and coil rear

Well the barwork got completed and painted. Ended up colour matching it all. Started taking it out and using it again in 2 weeks of wheeling I managed to do my 3rd rear diff, steering dampner, snapped the idler arm (this one was fun getting out of the bush with no steering) tie rod ends and did a CV.
So I went out and bought an 85 dual cab. I also picked up a 22r cheap and plan on putting a turbo on it and running straight gas. Anyway heres the finished pics of the 98. The 85 will become the comp rig and using the 98 for family wheeling trips.

Well quick update I have been wheeling it for a few months, I bought the wife a 120 Prado and tryed to sell the Lux. Couldnt get what I wanted for it so made some changes.
Pulled this from the 85
Purchased this from Trail Gear
Removed this from the Lux
And will continue cutting all this out tonight.
I also sold the 17s and bought some new rims and tyres, rims are being powdercoated at present.
I have also bought the Trail Gear rear kit to match and hope to have the majority done by the end of this weekend.
