SUPER FLEXY IFS ????? who wants it?

[BigMeatVX]

Nope havent posted anything about the IFS FLEX over there yet....just about the 5.12 gears.....

While the "other" site is decent and covers ALL isuzus, I find it hard to use and impossible to post pics....

[RamAirZ]

lol why impossible, it's super easy if you have them uploaded, the only difference is the gallery, just get yourself a photobucket account I love the Planet

IIRC, you can also link a pic from your gallery here, to a post over there.
As long as it's hosted somewhere on the net, you should be able to post it.

Dont have one....and most of my time is spent in the VX or in my shop tinkering with it (or other projects)...not on the computer....

After 8+ years and I have less than 200 posts....but almost a half a million miles of seat time in two different VXs...

dont take offence, but I just lack the time for the puter that others have

Dub ...U da man....Im on it....

So just a sway bar disconnect isn't too new. A few members have done it and mentioned that the articulation wasn't enough to really make to big a difference. Super-flexy sounds good off-road, but squirly on-road. I think the best thing about the VX is that it is not only an avid off-roader, but also a performance vehicle on-road. Have you done any testing in the mountains on road?

I'm at home during the day with the kids and work at night so I play on it somewhat during the day and then at night when I get off when I can't sleep. I'd tinker on the VX at night but the wife wouldn't be too happy if I woke her up And you don't need a whole lot of time to do that and like Dub said, you can use the pics you already have uploaded on here, so it's not hard at all, you just don't like change, hehe. And I log plenty of hours in my VX, I do drive it everyday Not 500K miles but it gets it's fair share. And when do you plan on postings pics of your invention, shoot, I may stick with IFS instead of a solid axle under Grimace, not much out this way to really NEED a solid axle for anyways.

Yeah, yeah...I have removed/reinstalled mine many times, used dissconnects, used other swaybars (2WD Rodeo, Nissan stanza, and others) ....BUT ...

This Mod has NOTHING to do with the SWAYBAR!!!!
In fact it works MUCH better than a sway bar disconnect!!!

And (when un-pinned) allows FAR more use of suspension travel, as you can see in the pics AND transfers force from one (side) wheel to the other (like a solid axle)...

Re-install the Pin and the suspension works as OEM design once again.

Sort of, the best of both worlds

You must be refering to my political stance???? As this whole thread is about change....a MAJOR one to your suspension

If your refering to the site...then I consider it LOYALTY.... not lack of change....but whatever....

LOL...

Took me a long d@^^n time to figure it out, figured the least I could do is help out my Bro.

[BigSwede]

That looks good! Try that with the regular setup and you would be leaning waaay over.

I still can't figure out how the sway bar doesn't need to be disconnected because it is intended to resist exactly that kind of suspension movement, but color me very interested...
