Huh. Im going to have to check into that. Rear lockers are a must! lol

As for the rear locker, I was going to run the lock-right. That's what I had in my Runner... It worked great except for the clicking when it's not engaged lol. What are the other fellas running and does anyone have any suggestions?

Fellas from the info youve given. Im happy to say i think Ill stick with the IFS. You all have been more than helpful and Im grateful for the input. And my bank account is as well. Ill build the IFS and if at some point decide to make the Q a full time trail rig then Ill go SAS. So my next questions are wheels and tires. Can I run 35s on a 4 or do I need to install the spacers on the front. I was going to run Rustys 6.5 WJ rear coils on the rear with Billys. I wish I could run Billys up front but it looks like thats not an option. What are in yalls opinion my optimom struts and backspacing options. I was wanting to stick with 17 but could go 18 because the tires are cheaper in some cases.

Ive heard the same about driveline strength from my fabricator buddies. Of course these are the same fellas that are pushing me to go solid axle. Will 35s work with 4:63s I was going to run 5:14 Im my yota with the 35s. So from what Ive gathered so far. Ill probabky want to go solid axle at some point but run the 6 in the mean time and have a ton of fun?!?!?

Thats a good point with the 3 link over the ISF. At the end of the day I want a rig that I can drive to California or wheel on the weekends. I get fairly aggressive when off tossing but I dont thrash my rigs. More like slow and 4 low kinda riding. I do want to run at least 35s. Im sure Ill have to rear gear. I didnt get the luck of the draw with the 4:88s. Also Im sure Ill have to change out my transfer case. Ultimately, my Runner was one of the baddest boys around and I want this Q to set a standard. If the IFS is going to give me better drive ability then thats what I want. I plan to lock front and rear. I heard they have issues with CV axle angle. Which my runner did as well I always carried a spare. But to have to install manual hubs makes me believe I might go through more axles than I care to. And a solid wont have that issue as well as much better articulation. Haha. Im just undivided I suppose.

Its not so much about the money. Its the end result. My Q was up north. Some of the subframe is pretty rusty. The body is in great shape though. I want to build an over lander that will go anywhere. My 4Runner was ISF and it went like stink. I was going to Swap it but I sold it before that could happen. I dont have much experience with the pathys. How does the 6 perform off road? I know Ill have no suspension droop on the front. Ive heard about top out. If I go through the links of lifting the IFS and its crap Ill end up spending more to ultimately swapping it. But if the 6 works then all I need are wheels and tires and its on.

Hello all. So I bought an awesome 4 lift from JP and the more I try to decide on which way to go the more Im finding out that a Toyota 3 link setup can be modified to work on my Q. Im not trying to build a rig to run 40s but 35s maybe 37s would be nice. Any opinions on this? Im just looking for input and advice. Thanks

I can't find him on Facebook lol. Does anyone have a link? I need a kit badly!
