Re: TOY: Re: RE: IFS 4x's

[Brien.Blankenship@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I've sunk enough coin into the $runner to know that I'm not looking to do
the same with this truck ( yet ). Although I do want to get a truck that
will be the base for the next project so I'll be interested from now on
what's going on with the IFS world. Of course I would need a lot of
convincing that it's worth hanging onto the IFS for the life of this
vehicle.

> I.F.S. and FLEX? Is that possible without major mods($)?

How much flex?  Gotta pay to play... but if you don't want feet of
travel, flex isn't very expensive.  If you want feet, you'll need coin.

Drew Persson (http://www.perssonoffroad.com) has lowpro IFS
bumpstops good for probably 7-8" (Drew?) on an otherwise
stock suspension.  I've got a travel kit good for 8-9" on a 4" lift
kit equipped suspension... but my travel kit won't work with a
stock suspension.

And if you want feet of flex... WCOR, ATS, Baja Concepts, or I
can supply you... but it's far from cheap.  I just got a quote on a
potential new product... something I was hoping to have on the
market around now, and the quote came in *seven hundred
dollars* higher than I expected.  On a part that's already awful
expensive (I've got probably a grand in it already, but that's on
a prototype that's been redone a couple times) but that will net
me an IFS stronger than a Toy straight axle, from hub to hub.
