Front Lockers

[Detonate]

Visually, I see the difference. Functionally I do not.

With a Front Locker, that rig could go over the same obstacle just as smooth.

You certainly are hardcore. Why didn't you go with coil-overs the first time??? More importantly why didn't you buy American!!!???? Are you realy a certified H2 Mech?

I am glad My H2 is made in Indiana,. Else I would be looking at a Jeep..No!!! thats German owned... realy a Bronco.

Have fun wheeling,

Isn't that what the TC2 button is for?

Where have you been man?????

SFA is a term used when its got a straight axle from the factory SAS is when you cut the IFS off and put a straight axle in... Thats the terms we have been using for about 6 years.

When you have a front tire start to compress, usually there are only 2 factors that go into what will cause the other side to droop. 1 being the rear spring rates, forcing the front tire to droop, and the front tire compressing and hitting a bump stop, forcing the other tire to droop (force articulation so to speak....

Now, the comment of the tire riding on the edge, I don't see that, I do however see an IFS doing this more. Here is an example, take a line and draw it at 30 degrees from left to right. make the body of the rig level and both front tires on the line(showing the front at the 30 degree angle). On a straight axle, both tires are level to the surface, where the ifs is not due to the nature of how its desinged...

I agree, the H2 is just too big(not saying that you can't, just the reality of it) for playing in the big rocks.

But I agree, go with a locker in the front, but make it selectable (been running arb's since 94)

80's Toyotas are the best damn 1/2 ton trucks on the road. It only takes 1/2 the money to build than a comparitable heep and they don't break down! Compaired to an early Bronco it only cost a fraction. If American companies made trucks like Toyotas i would buy American. Toyotas are small and nible. They have the perfect wb length and they are stronger than any American built 1/2 truck. Does it really matter if people buy American or not? In the long run... No. This is a global economy now. We as a planet will be relying more and more each other. Buy American will mean nothing in the future.

oh yeah....e-locker on the front for sure, only to be used in extreme conditions. My buddy has both front & rear lockers and he says there's virtually no steering when both locked!

As for the slanted-tire thing....put the front right tire on an 18" rock...the right tire will rise up into the wheel-well while the front-left will fall out to the ground. On IFS the left tire is sitting square on the ground, while the axle'd tire is at an angle or moving towards its edge. Course, if aired down this is no big deal. It's just something someone pointed out to me once.

Crash...the spy shots of the new H3 depict rear leaf-springs instead of a coil set-up....what do you suppose is the thinking here??? Do leafs offer a smooother ride, better articulation, less costly to make???? what do you figure?????

Also...drop me an email, gotta chat with you aboput something. Homeinsulation@aol.com
