Guess it would be good for high speed stuff

Tacoma IRS
What do you guys think?

Sorry if this is a repost.

 

dumb, i don't know the reason to put it on a pick up truck.

 

yeah usually the solid axle and leaf springs are signature of a truck. i can't imagine that being a heavy duty work truck

 

that could go down in history as the most worthless mod ever.

 

I beg to differ

 

the whole thing? or what?

 

I think it must be nice to jump in the desert and fast speed driving.

I'm surprised on how easy seems to intall this kit althouht I wouldn't put it!

Now we want a coil SAS kit preassembled ready to bolt

Anybody have a price on this?

 

according to the website, $6500

 

I could buy another truck for that!

 

I'm sure that if this was such a great thing that I would've seen/heard of baja style trucks utilizing this.

Not impressed.

 

That is in this months 4WD Toyota Owner magazine.

Next issue will have a full write-up on it.

 

Yea, thats were I saw it. That magazine Friggn Rocks!! I just subscribed to it this past month since Deathrunner will be featured in an upcoming issue. When I got it in the mail I read it over really quick thinking it was the 4 Wheel Farts Off Road Adventures magazine and thought "Hey this is a darn good issue!"

 

i just got my latest issue couple days ago and saw that irs taco as well as that siiick all pro sas kit. me wants...

lotta good articles in there..i havent had a chance to read any yet! (cept the all pro write up) still flipping through cover to cover and drooling.

irs? i wouldnt do it..but to each their own. im sure its got its benefits for those that dont need full articulation & strength...(read: street queens)

 

I'm sure it would work well for high speed stuff, but that seems to be it. For the money, you could have a dang good Porsche 944 (my fav. car) to race, it would be faster, and get more girls and less bad looks though...

 

Starting to look like a Honda pickup. it probably rides nice.

 

The inboard disc brakes are pretty slick though ...

 

Just because it is IRS doesn't mean that it is good for speed. That's like saying that just because you have an engine, you can go fast.

That setup doesn't appear to have much travel. It claims 8" of travel. Well, I am pulling 14-15 with leaves in the back of mine. Anyone serious about going fast would have more than 8" for sure. I could be wrong, but it seems you would be losing travel with this kit.

Now if this company wanted to make itself useful to the 4x4 market, it would ditch the IRS idea and build a stronger IFS front end to pop in place of the 7.5".

If they built an 8" center with stroger joints and axles capable of more extreme angles, they would have some more attention.

 

Now THAT would be brilliant. Imagine being able to drop an e-locker up front with IFS or just having the added strength.

 

And I believe that could be sold for less than 6500.00

I'd get it if it was a kit for up to 2,000.00

How hard would it be to work off a 44 center section?
