i was just wondering... what kind of off-roading is the IFS designed for? i understand that its supposed to give a better ride on the street (correct me if i'm wrong) but what kind of offroading use is it? and is it strong enough to stand up to the beating its gonna get from me?

All ralley racers us IFS....anything with speed uses IFS systems. If you're going to be crawling solid axel is for the most part the best. The only thing IFS limits is articulation.....and the tacoma IFS is pretty strong, i'd stick with it till it goes out.

The tacoma IFS was also designed to have more flex than the eariler model mini-truck. The coil-over suspension is a better setup and can do some amazing things when driven correctly. I have seen a tacoma tackle some hard stuff and do fine. I think it is a good system. I also have some taco friends that run with 3 extra cv's in case blowing one, or two....or three.  Just depends on how hard you drive it and what your running. He is on 35's and almost 9" of lift so breaking a cv is to be expected. True for rock crawling a solid axle is the way to go, but only if you have reached the limits of the IFS. If your not there yet...keep pushing. A tacoma with lockers front and rear is no joke. |

Here is a pic of some good IFS flex. I think he is running the cornfed spacer up front and AAL in the rear...  |
