hey there. this is my first post. i am a proud new owner of a 93 sr5 and am enjoying this truck so far. i was wondering if these ifs trucks are good for wheeling. i have a dodge ram 2500 and i used to wheel this in the bush with 33's and 2 inch lift and no swaybars and this thing flexed pretty good for a 3/4 ton truck. front tires got right into the fenders. i got this toyota because i'm sick and tired of having a truck that cant even fit in a decent trail without hitting trunks of tree's.

 

Is that a serious question?

These things kick ass off road!

What kind of answer are you looking for?

 

Hell yes...been mobbin many a times with my friends and the yotas hold up to some pretty harsh treatment for a long time before giving up. Don't have anything good to say about ford though, I kid you not every time I see a broke down truck where we go, its a ford ranger lol.

 

yes yotas kick ass.

yea i wheel with a lot of fords, we usually aim for the most breakage possible. one of my buddies left for boot camp a month ago and told us we could do whatever we wanted with his bronco II. well we did whats in this video 12 times

needless to say the ford has seen some better days

 

yeah im just worrying that the toyota wont flex as well as my dodge and i will be 3 wheeling all the time in the bush cuz of the ifs. i have heard some good things about ifs and some bad things. i just hope it will hold up as the front dana 60 in my truck

 

haha D60 vs IFS???? lol no comparison! However, the ifs doesn't have to withstand the horsepower your D60 did. You'll be fine as long as you know how to drive Your little yota will surprise you more than you think

 

And as far as flex....forget about it lol IFS doesn't flex at all...the rear end on your truck does a good job though! My guess is you don't rock crawl if you normally wheel a big dodge...? Your ifs will be fine...people take ifs rigs over the Rubicon among other well known "hardcore" trails.

 

lol the dana 60 only has to hold up to 250 hp and 345lbs torque. but the ram is so underpowered even with that much hp. it needs at least a hemi with 345hp to haul 2600kg of a truck around. this toyota has way less power but i have always been a toyota fan and will try to keep it long as i can. are there any cheap ways to lift this truck to fit 33's?

 

Cheapest way to lift to fit 33" tires.

3" BL, possible minor t-bar crank and longer rear shackles/AAL

 

You don't need a lift for 33x10.50's...
