    Was wondering what's best?

    3rd gen
    Or
    2nd gen

    Is it better to have torsion bars or struts? For long travel?

    Should I get a 2nd gen and replace the 3.0 engine with the 22re?

    Why don't vehicles just use coilovers with torsion bars or struts?

    Are struts inferior for offroad

    will I get a smoother ride if I change out the shocks on my 2002 4R. Wife hates riding in the car. She doesn't get the concept of 'feeling the road"
