Debate : 33's VS. 35's on 2nd gen IFS
Soooo... Me and Mike(4RunnerKid) were talking last night, we were talking about tire size and it was brought up that I should get 35's.... I said no, that I'd stay with 33's for a few reason, one being I already spend $10 a day on gas with 33's (long commute) and that 35's would just make it worse... but the main reason was that I thought 2nd gen IFS just isn't strong enough to handle the stress 35's put on it.... sure if you just drive on the street or in mud it's fine... but for hard trails/rocks I think 35's are just a brakage waiting to happen, open diff or not...
so what do you guys think? can 2nd gen IFS handle 35's on all types of terrain or not?
Debate on!

33s with 4.88s and rear locker and a long travel rear suspension and an IFS modified properly will take you more places than you may imagine and you lessen the chances of breaking weak IFS parts- gusset that idler arm!
35s will work but if you are in the rocks and jacking your steering around and putting some throttle down...be careful...

I destroy steering components every trip with 33's, two lockers a crawler and a 3.4, I was thinking 35's but that would likely destroy even more.
If you are doing hard rock crawling, at least 4 out of 5's or 8's out of 10, two lockers, 33's and protection will taken you all across the country. That is how my rig runs and it takes me all across Colorado, Moab and Arizona destroying steering, but finishing the trails.
If you can fit 35's, run them. I would like the extra clearance, but fear it may lead to unfixable breakage.
