I agree that an excellent driver in a stock vehicle can do hella better than a mediocre driver in a built vehicle.

ifs 33's open front and rear.  and of course ya'll know pics and videos never do a trail justice, that thing was pretty steep.  and had some nice ledges in the middle.  also this is nowhere near the rock trails that ya'll have in the west.  this was in alabama.

Momentum is your friend when you're open.

we even had a couple of locked trucks have to do that run twice to get over the rocks in the middle.  also none of us have dual cases so there isnt much slow crawling.

BTW thats Gray rock orv, in gardendale ala.

Not a hijack, this is exactly what I want to see here, people wheeling their IFS hard.

ok,  im working on machineing my own ball joint spacers and making my own diff drop. also, im building a front bumper and some sliders for a friends fj40 and he is going to buy me a locker.  but i dont know if anyone makes a locker for the front?  if so ill put locker in front and weld the rear.

this was my old 4runner.  31's and a rear locker stock height. i miss it. i now have a 85 locked and geared, and it sometimes makes things to easy. i miss the day's of running IFS and 31's w/ the guys on 35's.

Yes there are lockers for the front of an IFS Toy, Lockright and Truetrac I know for sure and I believe Detroit makes them in their EZ-Locker line.
