40’s on a 2nd Gen Sequoia (1 Viewer)

What didn’t you like about the IRS?

 

[Nay]

Yep, I'm aware..I had a 16' sequoia..I actually liked it better than my 200..
I just didn't care for the IRS...
seems to Remove the IRS, weld in some leaf spring hangers would be easy

I think the problem is the amount of lift you’d have might be difficult to replicate up front. The complete independent suspension seems to wheel well in places where a long wheelbase is favored (Moab) but would be difficult in big rock gardens.

Have thought about it, but seems a path to doing both ends. 74Weld is reported to be working on portals for the second gen Tundra, that is really interesting if it comes to be - the clearance with a fully independent suspension would be insane. My son is committing to his 2008, ee think 38’s are a shoe-in given the amount of front clearance you get with a Coastal Offroad body mount trim up front and Total Chaos arms. He just put Kings up front today, I have to deal with the fact that my Elka DC coilovers failed with some basic road miles and they aren’t responding to warranty claim, which makes me remember why I love my 80 so much.

But the second gen Sequoia has stupid potential for an all around adventure and wheeling rig outside of hardcore rock crawling and we have two of them on a build journey so we’ll see. I hardly drive the 80 at all so at some point it’s growing pains. My son likes to outdo me these days and I’m happy for him to take lead. Tires can’t rub if the metal isn’t there….
