[QUOTE="TBItoy, post: 750697, member: 1384"] I'm hoping that with the removable top/doors and overall size, it will drive some bolt on IFS goodies that are more rock crawling focused. IF the front diff is up to the task. If the stock drivetrain will handle some "minor" beat downs with the 35s that come on it, then we might have a contender. It also looks like the front/rear lockers are available on all trim levels, so that's pretty cool. Now it's Toyota's turn to re-do the 4Runner or a new FJ into a removable top/door model. The latest generation 4runners and Tacomas have large-ish (think Dana 50 size) center sections, and RCV makes IFS shafts that use Dana 60 size bells. BUT most of the bolt on IFS stuff is either mild "overlanding" stuff, or long travel desert bombing setups. Marlin Crawler is developing a rock crawling specific IFS setup that looks promising, if it's ever readily available... EIther way, it'll be 15-20 years before I'm looking at any of them for a trail rig. By then I'll either be in a legit buggy or a damn hovercraft. [/QUOTE]
