Jungle Juice has worked well for me. I spend a reasonable amount of time in the cedar swamps in Northern Wisconsin.
Mr. West's rig has most of the things the other people I mentioned have. As Schaefer says, it is the invisible mods. Crawlers, fancy engines and lockers are not cool to look at on the internet, but they make for good pictures.

Grrrrr!!!
Don't flame, I'm just frustrated

btw, the new line of buzz off clothing, works! the only sucky thing is that it lasts through 25 washings or so. but put on the hat, or socks, and it really does keep the bugs off.

Actually, My rigs do quite well with IFS. It's just the natural progression of wheelin' to want a SAS or lok't diffs. At least that's the way it's been for me.
I'm just finishing up with a buddy on SAS'n his rig (98 Tacoma TRD Xtra cab). We're making a new crossmember this weekend to allow us to install the new front driveshaft.
It was alot of work but it's turned out great. 7" or so of lift, elok't rear, ARB lok't D44 front, bob'd 13", w/ 37" MTR's. We'll see just how much mo beta he does now. We both went everywhere in the 3+-4 groups when we hit runs with IFS so.....I'm really anxious to get this thing on a trail and see just how much easier it takes the terrain now that the IFS is gone.
Here's a pic of it just after rolling it out of the garage and spaying all the grinding/welding/cutting dust off.
Here's a movie of the IFS hitting the floor.
Anyways....I'm IFS CORE!

Tulsa boy eh??? Cool!!!
We'll schedule a test and tune run for the SAS'd rig as soon as we get the front drive shaft in.
Got here and use the email link to send me a mail at home. I'll keep your info with Chris's and notify yaul when we're ready to hit a trail.
Wheel much?

Scofco, I cant remember if you have a rear locker or not... If you dont, you'll be amazed what you can climb over with a locker, even with a wheel in the air.
One a pro-IFS note. After following an SAS tundra this past weekend he was hanging up his front diff on stuff that I could just slide over.
Dont get me wrong I'll be doing an SAS as soon as I get the extra cash. I like the SAS mainly because I can be locked up front and not worry about breaking stuff left and right, and of corse the sweet flex.

Have you tried these guys?
Check out these guys for some heavy duty IFS suspensions:
http://www.chaosfab.com/toyaccess.html Or a different site with same products on one page:
http://www.northwestoffroad.com/newp...wproducts.html
If you need gusseted idler arms or 12" or travel and still maintain nice ride.
Seem pretty bullet proof based on same design as my buddy awhile back but more heavy duty and it's still mostly bolt on.

That is not a trail in the pic, that is a dirt road and that is the truth.

Yeah I've seen county roads in Texas that were worse than that.
