April 2012 TOTM Contest - "Most capable IFS truck"

*dkchrist* · 04-06-2012, 01:07 PM

always liked this picture. I will let the viewers decide.

**FROADER** · 04-06-2012, 01:17 PM

I almost forgot I had an "IFS" rig. Mine is most capable of being a shelf/storage compartment/versatile. Capable was not specified in the rules.

4x4 - 33s - 4.56s - rear locker - dog leash

This contest wouldn't be complete without Herc

*mounty71* · 04-08-2012, 04:53 PM

Most people on here wouldn't even consider a 2WD truck capable, but I'll play anyway.

Was just going to ask, you've got to add a better action shot, until I saw the Link

But this does bring up... Should they be street legal or is it "Run what you Brung" type thing?
Whoa! just noticed it's tagged never mind.
Well I said earlier "it should be interesting".

**Dannyboy** · 04-09-2012, 07:20 AM

Capable is in the eye of the beholder. Most capable camping rig, go fast, mud, rock crawler. I think all should be considered.

Johnstone did it all on IFS

Dan Waters & Carlover have capable rigs

Herc for sure

**rookieshooter** · 04-09-2012, 07:53 AM

Excellent point! Had to go back and check the Title of the contest.

danwaters · 04-09-2012, 08:13 AM

yeah, it has tags and totally street legal, haha. This was the first trip out since the 8 month rebuild so there aren't many action shots except for that video.

**Tbars4** · 04-09-2012, 10:38 AM

..And Mounty71's V8 is very capable too..

Sounds like Deuce's current state... The LOL came after 'dog leash'

*LONO100* · 04-09-2012, 02:10 PM

i always liked gman's rig myself. from the pics ive seen of it, it looks capable of being offroad, on the road, carrying gear, and all the in-betweens. when i hear capable, i like to think of versatility. some crawlers are awesome at crawling, but arent the best for camping, carrying gear like bikes and boards, or arent even street legal. i like rigs that can get to the trail and then hit it. may not be the best at one thing, but good at a lot. all the rigs on this thread are awesome but if i was going to build a ifs 2nd gen id do it like gman's.
