I hope it is as good as the FJ Cruiser. After building an FJ and a 2014 JK, I prefer the FJ over the solid axle JK. I just hope the Bronco IFS is as robust as the Toyota.

Yes they are for the advantage in the fast "flat" sections but it was quite obvious who had the edge in the rocks, which ultimately led to the win. Although this is truly not a fair comparison of the Ultra4 rigs to a FJ or the Bronco since there will be such drastic differences between the two IFS systems.Go....I can take it! Even the KOH rigs are switching over to independent. The more I built my JK for rock crawling, the worse it was on the highway, and it was NEVER as good as the IFS for fast desert offroading
My FJ with a Fox/Camburg suspension, kept up with all the built Jeeps in Moab. I could blast down a rocky wash with one hand on the steering wheel, can't do that with my JK. I then I had a comfortable quiet ride all the way back to Las Vegas My JK is not fun to drive long distances, it will do it, but gotta keep both hands on the steering wheel most of the time.Yes they are for the advantage in the fast "flat" sections but it was quite obvious who had the edge in the rocks, which ultimately led to the win.

With solid axles, the better you make it for off-road, the worse it is on-road. When you build a good IFS system for off-road, it usually also gets better On-road.My FJ with a Fox/Camburg suspension, kept up with all the built Jeeps in Moab.

We got a whole thread dedicated to this subject if you are interested in discussing this. Otherwise we try to keep the new threads clear of all this chassis talkWith solid axles, the better you make it for off-road, the worse it is on-road.

I remember something like that:Re: security with doors/top off - my EB has a locking glove box with kill switches inside so I flip the switch and the engine won't start until I flip the switches back to the right direction. A bad guy would have a hard time figuring that out because there are 2. Also, I have a locking console. There are ways to secure an open vehicle, just don't leave your purse in the back, Karen.
Mine's gonna be IFS.....couldn't give me a SFAMy FJ with a Fox/Camburg suspension, kept up with all the built Jeeps in Moab.

Yep, you may not be able to crawl the biggest baddest boulders in the world, but who cares. IFS does everything else better.Mine's gonna be IFS.....couldn't give me a SFA
just another renderPosted in other thread but this one seems to get more hits. What Is This?
LOL, yeah I guess that is ironic. I sold the FJ in 2014 and got the JK. The guy that bought my FJ got a license plate that reads JPKILR. I was driving behind him on the freeway, while in my new Jeep.That’s pretty ironic coming from a guy with a Jeep in Moab? as an avatar. I really hope the Bronco IFS will hold up to 35”+ tires, a front locker, and Moab.
Also I’d say that solids are better in mud too. Inherent durability and no worry of tearing cv boots. Mud tore up a cv boot on my rzr one time and I had to winch my way home.

Poison Spider/Golden Spike/Gold Bar Rim is probably the second set of trails I’ll take the new Bronco on. Right after Hells and Fins.LOL, yeah I guess that is ironic.

That is my jeep in the Avatar, coming down the waterfall on Poison Spider trail in Moab.
