IFS a differant approach
hey up fellas here is something my mate just brought to my attention, he has a vauxhall fronterra and found this on his forum from an american lad (bearing in mind im in the uk) who has a isuzu rodeo (same vehicle as fronterra) apparantly what this does is to allow more traction with ifs setups. with the pin in is for road drive and pin out is for offroad. now with the pin out it when you go over an obstacle it forces the other side of the vehicles ifs down for extra traction if that makes sense. if you guys have seen this before i appoligise but i thought it was a good idea and share it anyway. but heres the pics.

Sounds like a similar idea to the cross-linked front air shocks:

Main problem is that our transmission would get in the way :/
unless you lifted the drivetrain, then you'd have that thing hanging down haha.
seems like a pretty good idea, though.

seems a similar approach but at least you have the choice to choose on road or offroad by pulling the pin out, also from what i can gather it wont change the geomatary of the shockers for body roll etc as it stays the same on road unlike the air shocker thing but off road it allows for exra droop. be intresting to know if anyone has done this already and let us know how it is in the flesh and any probs they have come across with it.

I'll get a link to the forum that my mate got this on, and post it up. I'm only going off what he told me so I'm not sure myself hence why I asked if you guys have seen this before ESP being a chap from your side of the world made it. On the air shocker thing is that anygood in reality? Again I don't know it seems us Brits arnt very inventive with stuff like this anymore or it's kept very quiet. The forum I'm on in the uk is www.hiluxsurf.co.uk which is pretty much exactly the same as this forum but not as friendly and it's more diesel based rather than petrol (gas). Anyway I'm off to get that link be back soon.

Another guy added this to the rear as well:
- http://www.4x4wire.com/toyota/4Runne...ar_air_shocks/
And I think he has information on adding valves/etc. to control it's operation.
