When you guys are ready to hit the trails please let me know, I'd like to tag along!

I might be going out around Sycamore/4Peaks/Butcher Jones tomorrow evening if you are interested

You got it - WAY back in the day I used to compete my stereo system in a car I had and lofreqjeff was a user name I used on other forums so I kept using the same name over and over.

Guess I'll join the party. 100% stock, suspension wise. On the way down to our local river spot.

Leaving it mostly stock. It's been in the family since new. I've already got the engine sorted (EB 268 cam and O/S valves, 2.25 exhaust), just put a Marlin HD clutch and short throw shifter in when I did the rear main seal, have SR5 buckets/console/cluster/door panels. Oh yeah and a factory double DIN AM/FM/CD/Tape deck, factory rear speakers, and a Subaru subwoofer under the seat.

All that's really left is 4:1 T-case gears and an E-locker when I get a job and money to do them.

I'm so confused, both of my IFS rigs probably don't fit this thread properly yet both flex relatively decent...

Here's my '89 with a converted front clip... The catch is, it's 2wd with a spool in the rear.

And then here's my '91 IFS system but the catch is, well, it's not a toyota... LOL I'm not brand loyal at all, I just want something that works. This one is my 4wd toy.

I don't think TTB counts as IFS. :-)

twin traction beam suspension. it's a weird "ifs/sa" hybrid system. good for prerunners because they can be setup with insane wheel travel, but generally frowned upon compared to other suspensions for wheeling and DD situations due to some of the problems they can cause

I had never seen a vid of the Blazeland LT in action until now... I wish my IFS could flex like that!
