Because you can't desert race with SAS
Desert race a 100?
An 80?
Yeeoowwwww! I'd get an 85 truck.
100 series Long travel IFS anyone?

Crawl over rocks and shelves with a 100?

At least we agree on the truck part.

I'd never desert race an 80. The 100 series trucks have run much faster in Dakar than the 80 ever could
A board like this one, and someone has to ask why.....
Simply, ...why not!
Simply, ...why not!
Where can one buy a chromoly 1" uniball?
Once the torsion bars is replaced with custom coil spring w/ shock absorbers, a specific constant stresses from the IFS is suddenly transferred by almost 3' forward on the 100 series frames.
Would the end of LC100 front frames be strong enough to handle the twisting stress due to "new coil spring w/shock absorber" constant forces?
Would a curved bolt-on tube bar be required to run across the engine bay to neutralized the coil springs compressions from both sides?
Just asking from the engineering viewpoint.
Cheers,

Snook,
I believe additional fabrication would be required such as you described. All the long travel vehicles I've seen have additional bracing, even the ones that were originally coil over shock designs.
All of the bracing I've seen that runs over the engine is bolted in place, however, so you can remove it.
Of course by removing the torsion bars, you free up the necessary room to run the Cruiser Crawler like Slee has on the Shortbus. That's my theory anyways
