I think those tied to live axles are living in the past with the nostalgic view of vehicles like the LC and the 50+ yr old tech of solid rear axles.
Heck...the lunar rover had IRS and you can't get further "off-road" than the moon  |
Sure, independent suspension helps if you are baja racing...
But you have obviously never been rock crawling.
If solid axles are such antiquated technology, why do current Rubicon Jeeps have both *front* and *rear* solid axles?
Why do off-road companies provide "Solid Axle Conversion" kits to people so they can ditch their weak, non-articulating IFS?
Ever heard of a 3 wheel stand? Welcome to IFS/IRS....
