Here's my 2 cents. Look at that walker evans tube buggy that was using IFS. They end up switching to solid axles. They were using 3inch dia chrommoly shafts.


I dont think this is a fair comparison. First Walker Evans is an ass. ;D Sorry got sidetracked...  ::) FIRST that rig worked very well as a trail rider. I dont think anybody on this board is trying to be a professional rockcrawler, or an ass. ::) (seriosly he is an ass, thats another story)

Second, If you think IFS is a waste of time you havent been wheeling with one built right.

Third SAS is harder to do safe and legal for street

IFS has many advantages over a straight axle.  
*Axles are easy to swap.
*Their is room for upgrades if someone would mass produce some to sell.
*More front diff clearance
*Tie rods are tucked away
*You can build a ramp/bellypan from your front bumper to the mid point of your rig to slids across
*and of coarse jumping  ::)

Yea. Its running stock everything with a Widened Calmini 3 inch lift. It does have a steel front diff. Its unbeliveable to see this guy drive. He beats the poo out of this thing. He rarely breaks anything but when he does its a front cv. Usually one a weekend.

They made a 4x4 van for a while. That one makes an easier swap but yet again its rare. Im looking for an easy to find swap.

Sweet.

So is the shaft small enought to fit in with the Tracker flange/nub welded on, or does it need to be widened and use with spacers, or will it require being widened to fit?
