IFS Patrol

Well Nissan have to catch up with the pack sooner or later don't they. :)

My GQ just quadrupled in value.

About time they joined the 21st century.

Catch up with the pack?????

21st century???????????

IMHO leave it alone. For serious off-roading it is the best going.

But I guess unfortunately IFS will come. Sad!

IFS on the new Patrol!!
I can only hope NOT.
The only thing IFS will do for it is make it a black top 4bee.

Hi Guys,
A couple of years ago I spoke to a guy that was well known in the 4x4 repair and maintanence industry, the question popped up regarding IFS (then on the new Landcruiser) his reply was a bit hard to accept but I understood what he meant.

He told me that 4x4 manufacturers didn't like us (hardcore off-roaders) due to the fact that we expose the faults of their vehicles. It's common knowledge that most 4x4's will never see bush tracks so its easy to understand that 4x4 makers would rather cater for the majority, being those that use their vehicles for the black top only. This as we all know is where IFS has the advantage of a more comfortable ride so unfortulately it is the way all future generations of 4x4's will chose to go.

Lets just hope that we will still be able to modify our IFS rigs someday down the track to be able to do what the we want them to do when the current GU's and the older GQ's and 80 series' cruisers are too old to participate.

Not comforting but we can't ingnore the facts for ever.
