hate to say it guys, but you're wrong.

first, independent suspension gives you LESS articulation compared to a solid axle. in addition, the angle off the wheel when it is dropped is more under the vehicle which makes it more likely for rolling over.

jabtay is correct about humvee's breaking axles. while they have this reputation as being a superior off road vehicle they are vastly overrated when it comes to serious off road rock crawling. i know, i've seen H1 owners try to keep up with a very modestly built jeep wrangler and its kinda pathetic.

video and pictures...of my best friend and his $50,000+ jeep.

i've spend several years helping him build this jeep...when i've been in connecticut...and have built a jeep myself. there is this misconcption among non-jeep enthusiasts that IRS is a better setup and i've no idea why.
