Seriously, Greg and Jeff, I was impressed by your knowledge, and only wished you had this podcast about 5 years ago. Every axle problem, and solution you mentioned, I've gone though. Busted stock birf, hub studs, knuckle studs, have seen it, and upgraded each one of these. I think the worst was when the hub studs went, the dowel holes got wallowed out, and I had to replace the entire hub. Can't wait to hear more.<br> <br> Announcements:<br> <br> March Giveaway<br> <br> Main Topic: IFS or Straight Axle?<br> Hey guys, been listening since the beginning of the old show.<br> As a toyota guy you make me laugh and scream sometimes in the same episode.<br> I wheel a 97 4Runner that is and always will be IFS, I'm currently running 35s and it does everything I want it to do, including wheeling 10 days straight in Moab without a single issue. There are thousands of 4runners, Tacomas, FJCs, 100 series LCs and the like that get wheeled with IFS and rack and pinion steering.
