side view of independent suspension

[shrewsburyboarder34]

if its locked thats boss, if not. its gay as a prius

[OHVTrails1]

Nice! I bet that would come in handy going up the vertical wall in the Moab bathtub. Lower the front and jack up the back. Less likely to flip!

[jeffman3]

@OHVTrails1 Or you could just have a properly built rig...

[OHVTrails1]

@jeffman3 Like your Toyota Camry with a glass pack that you have up loaded on your channel?

[jeffman3]

@OHVTrails1 Nope, that thing's a piece of shit. It's just my mileage monster, gets a reliable 34.5mpg. I was thinking more the ZOR buggy- the "Guinea Pig" and another guy I went out with that day in his Ford buggy. They climbed right up it. My only 4x4 toy is a straight-axle Tracker and it's... Kinda a really hot steaming pile. Always broken. :D

I don't pretend like I've got the best Moab equipment, I don't. I can do light trails all day but not much more.

[jeffman3]

@OHVTrails1 Don't take me wrong, what you said is perfectly correct- you could do that and it would make you less likely to go over backward... But a properly built rig will do that just as well. And likely for significantly less.

This would do so great on the tuner market... Those losers give my Camry a bad name, but then they wouldn't mess up their, uh, stuff going into parking lots, down gravel roads... You know. That "off road" stuff as they call it.

[AbaddonsAnimosity]

That thing looks goofy as hell.

[HuskerSeaofRed]

Cool! How does it help top have adjustable suspension? I mean are there situations where you need to adjust it depending on terrain or is this just a cosmetic fun thing?

[escape1016]

A WELL setup Independent suspension system will out crawl a complete solid axle vehicle any day. Think about it...all that vertical flex without the interference of a axle pumpkin. Think of the ground clearance!!!

[porkpig350]

@escape1016 ahahahahahahahahhahahahahahaha­hahahahahhahahahahahaaaahahaha­hahahhahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahah...K-o-h----

[jeffman3]

@escape1016 Which is why, uh, the hot ticket is to cut out those straight axles and adapt in independent suspension systems, right?

Oh, wait.

[prm9156]

put it in top truck challenge.

[HamadHHAG]

i wish this my jeep

[ford1979truck]

Why do you have the .. Im going to assume air ride set up on it .. Just have it lowerd for street and highway tell you hit the trails ? Jw thanks

[bearsandy21]

@ford1979truck

It's for like off camber situations.. getting too off camber on a hill and you can load air in one side and keep from rolling over. It's a lot safer than conventional suspensions. Look up the maroon JK videos that explains it all

[FordMustangGTRocks]

how much did tht set u back?

[danmonsterhog]

i could fix that for you

[subwofa]

oh dear i think i just creamed my self :O

[braaup]

Cop pulls you over.

Cop: "Sir, I believe your vehicle is too high to be street legal. I'll be right back with my tape measure"

You: "OK!"

Cop turns around and walks back to get tape measure

You flip the switch and drop it before he even knows what the sound it

Cop: "Have a nice day sir!"

haha that'd be so fun!

[stealth556]

Where do you keep the spare?

[sandman503]

IS on a jeep, thats just wrong

[ajbauto]

@sandman503

nope. it's the way jeeps should have been made so they don't get stuck everywhere

[sandman503]

says the guy who has no idea what he is talking about.

[MrGreekanator]

i want that,i am in love.

[oitsthejuggernaut]

ok now lets see it on the rocks

oh wait you have independent suspension nvm

[gocms]

We don't know what's with this full IS can not do rock, ours do just fine. I'll dig out some pics.

[honda440ex3]

@gocms because ifs is weaker than true lockers and solid axles, the gears always rip out with torque and cant handle rocks at all, spoken from a true rock crawler.

[gocms]

@honda440ex3 Well, the IFS systems YOU are use too are weaker, since you have never driven one of our IFS you can not make that assumption and you know what they say about making ASS-U-mptions. We are not here saying our IFS is the best thing since "sliced bread". We are saying it is one of the best all around off roading systems that do very little damage to our environment. Our trucks drove 1500 miles to California, won Top Truck then drove home and are not "Trailer Queens".

[honda440ex3]

@gocms i wasn't trying to bash your company i haven't ever used your company's systems, so i cant say there good or bad, i was just trying to clarify stock to stock solid axles are stronger. and it all depends on what the application is for. where is your company located by the way?

[gocms]

@honda440ex3 Thats kewl and I can accept that and I will apologise if I came across rudely as well. This is one of the aspects that allot of wheelers have opinions and we have done tonnes of reseach and development in the area.

Ok...in lots of areas. ;-) We are running 1 1/4 tonne diffs and Dana 60 drive axles so these are very strong and yes I will agree with you in certain aspects one does better than the others. Do you have a rig? What terrain do you like best?

We like snow and rock.Later

[honda440ex3]

@gocms i like rock but muds fun every now and then. i have a 2004 rubicon on 35" mickey thompson baja claws. do you make anything for it?

[gocms]

@honda440ex3 We are just starting to expand our product line but as of this moment we only offer our suspension kits and local support for off roading groups.

[Zephid15]

ahhahahah I was thinking the same thing. hahah

[Krill001]

thats gotta be great on on the hills,, total control
