     Since when? Its always been a solid axle when I've seen it... I know
there are a bunch of different versions but they've all had that wacky
articulating fork suspension.
     Toyota does have a mighty fine IFS. Especially with the Downy mods.
     I dont think I'd opt for IFS for a trail only vehicle. I think its
great onroad and its great in certain situations offroad but thats not
enough to prefer it. I also think its too expensive to maintain.
