Get Your Flex On! Rego Rex - IFS kit for Jeeps
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 май 2023
- REX is a bolt-on kit that replaces the solid axle with an independent suspension system. The patented differential allows extra long suspension arms and shafts within the original body width. The added length provides 20” wheel travel and increased ground clearance on a standard JK and coming soon for the JL & JT.

I'd like to see this adapted for the IFS liberty. Giving us the ability to go with better gear set.
I hope you were able to drive it and put it through its paces. Looking forward to your feedback on how awesome or not it is.
Not yet but they promised me I am going to be able to. It looks beefy enough.
@@TrailTraveler I’m sure the beef is there. Very curious of the ride quality at speed over rougher terrain as well as its road manners.
Wild concept… I’d love to give my Liberty a beefier IFS, probably wouldn’t mess with the wrangler unless I had an extra one. Definitely a wild idea tho.
I think it’s for the guys that run around in the desert
But if I wanted a Bronco…🤔. Good luck sir, it will be interesting to see if Jeep owners, who arguably buy Jeep’s for solid axels (yes and other reasons), will have an interest in this conversion. I do love innovation. Please follow up on this
I think we did a decent job of explaining who this is for. It isn't for your typical rock crawler or trail basher, it really excels at high speed stuff which is a category that Jeeps are not very good at. It certainly isn't for everyone, but it does allow a Jeep to be competitive on situations where it would normally have a disadvantage.
You certainly did, it will be interesting to see if they sell.
Seems like bronco will kill this business. If you want ifs, there’s no shortage
So I guess I'll be the first to comment... Hope I don't loose subscribers(RUclips jeepNdirt) LOLl!!. The Engineer side of me thinks-- Cool design, great concept, and from the looks of their promo video on their website it does indeed appear to handle like a UTV off road. I do think people will buy this kit (those who dare to be different) but a true jeeper is likely to stay away. In looking at their promo video (and the comparison pic), the wheels have a very severe tilt away from the jeep which would cause weird wear on the street. I'm sure that's adjustable, but for me I wouldn't have my promo video clearly showing that. The video also sort of highlights that slinky UTV body roll I'm sure due to the suspension characteristics. I wouldn't want that for me, but I do understand that it probably feels very "slushy" as it soaks up the bumps, like the baja race trucks. As for keeping the same axles, great idea but with what he stated about overall cost I'm curious just how much attention it would actually grab in terms of this system vs actually upgrading to "ton's" and 40's back and front. I can already see cost comparisons not really being cost comparisons due to our inherent nature to stick with what we know. (specifically related to 1 ton swaps.) I applaud this companies efforts to thinking out of the box, but time and people will decide if makes it into the mainstream. That said, kinda funny that if you think about current options for our jeeps related to drivetrain of this price range I think it's as follows: 1 ton swap into a JLU (built crate axles) $25k ish or those new portal axles from 74Weld (bolt straight to your axles) $25k ish, or this kit you mention above $25k ish. So the question is who's going to get the bulk of the .02% of the 1%'ers who are itching to spend $25K + on these set ups, or who's going to want to be made fun of for having a jeep and trying to turn it into a bronco Lol!!
Excellent points, and only time will tell.
Excellent points. Seems like a utv and a trailer would be more fun than wonkin up yer jeep
I haven't messed with jeep stuff in a while, but I don't see 1 tons being 25k. Crate 1 tons used to be 5-6k each with your choice of gear, locker, and almost any bolt pattern. And for jeeps usually a bolt in setup with proper bracketry. For that kinda money you would be insane to run this over the 74weld portals at least if you have any jeep with Dana 44's and factory lockers. Looking at it, just looks low quality. Square tube, doesn't look very beefy, rusted bolts everywhere. I just don't get it I guess, after watching the video I was left wondering why...
This is such a big deal . Very nice work. Especially to bring clueless jeep boomers into performance off road. “Duhhhh solid axles is best ”. Wonder why ultra 4 cars are running IFS/IRS. This is like going from a payphone 📞 to a smart phone 📱.
I’m a millennial. And solid axels perform better on the rocks. Look up “cleghorn chute” and watch the Jeeps breeze through it while cars with IFS need to go around the boulder because they can’t get over it which often times results in body damage.
I have searched the internet. I can NOT find this company to talk to them about this topic. It is like they do not exist. How the fuck can anyone expect to do any business with a video and no contact of any kind. Someone has their head in their ass. And the rear of this system is NOT independent suspension so I am really disappointed. It is not what it claims to be.
Why would you ruin a jeep like that ..🤦🏻♂️
It's no different than adding a lift and tires. Its for building a Jeep for a specific use-case. Jeeps have their pros and cons and high speed stuff like a Baja 1000 type race is just not what a Jeep is typically built for. This is just another option for someone who wants to use their Jeep for things other than trail riding and rock crawling.
There's pretty much no debate about the fact that independent suspension is the best suspension. The main objections that people have for off-road relate to CV axle binding and suspension travel. You can solve for those.
So really we're talking about price.
From a pure technological perspective almost everything is better about independent suspension even for off-road.
In fact I would challenge that if you have a four-wheel independent suspension vehicle like a Jeep Cherokee trailhawk or a Jeep Patriot or anything like that... Theoretically if you had the same size tires and you were driving on an obstacle that did not cause wheel lift there is almost no doubt in my mind that you would have better traction.
So as long as you are in the range of your suspension travel up until the point that you have wheel lift if you have the same size tires and the same tires with the same weight on them you're going to have better traction with Independent suspension.
@@off-roadingexplained8417 You cannot solve for those. There are some things you didn’t consider when you wrote this comment. One very major thing is the inherent stiffness of IFS compared to a solid axel.
The weight of the car transfers to the body to the front or rear. So if you crawl up a rock the rear axel will transfer the weight to the IFS. But because IFS is a lot stiffer the front might not flex as readily leading to your vehicle going off camber. With two solid axels front and rear the passenger cabin will be level while the two axels will be flexed. Of course this is a simplified explanation.
Another reason is the lack of travel of IFS. You need to HEAVILY modify IFS to perform like a stock solid axel vehicle in terms of travel. The cost/benefit ratio is just not worth it if rock crawling is your passion. If you want to do desert reading then IFS will be superior in comfort.
Your claim that IFS is generally superior in all areas is bonkers. Take a Subaru rock crawling. Let me know how that goes.
@@chrisking6695 independent suspension design is inherently Superior. The phenomenon that you are talking about is called motion ratio. Yes , the motion ratio is often different on independent suspension compared to solid axle. You can set up the suspension to have the motion ratio that you need. It's not about whether independent suspension is more capable than solid axle it's about whether solid axle can get the job done for less money.
The only reason that solid axle is more common and more often performs better is because it's less expensive to do it.
That's pretty much the gist of it.
Solid axle problems:
No camber gain (the suspension can't compensate for sidewall flex and bring the tread back to the surface as camber gain does)
Traction on the right affects reaction on the left because the suspension is dependent, not independent.
When the right tire is on an obstacle , it effects the tire contact patch on the left.
When the right tire slips, it shakes the left tire.
Greater unsprung weight
The greater unsprung weight will require larger shocks
Worse center clearance
Bump steer
Axle wrap
The axle sometimes moves left and right when it goes up and down because of the need for panhard bars , etc
Resistance in forward motion causes the force to be applied as an axle rotation, which can reduce downward force on one of the tires on the axle.
Basically. A lot of problems go away with independent suspension.
However, it is far more expensive to achieve good suspension travel with independent suspension and that is the primary issue.
@@chrisking6695 so what I'm saying is , if the articulation of an independent suspension is made to be the same as that of a solid axle setup , it would be vastly better.
