Learned more in 10 minutes than thousands of hours on UA-cam. Sucks that not everyone likes to learn how things work.
Literally spent 2 weeks looking for less-than-all of the information in this video. For what ungodly reason has the UA-cam algorithm not skyrocketed this channel? Please keep giving us amazing content like this.
I agree. This is probably some of the best real world info about suspension. I love Kai's videos.
Couldn’t agree more. UA-cam actively suppressing this guy on my algorithm. I’m here now!
How is this channel not blowing up! Great in-depth information and the editing of the video is spot on.
Thank you! Help me spread the word!
It’s probably too hard to understand these things for the majority of car content chasers. They want drag races with teslas, not valuable content 😂
@@Gemini_0815 unfortunately the average yota owner doesn’t care to research and just goes to a shop for basic suspension setup and calls it a day.
@@Toastert4co yes. Toyota customers also have very low expectations, in my experience. How Toyota does it, I have no idea. But they certainly have an excellent sales force, maintaining the myth of reliability and durability. So customers are willing to ignore the poor performance of Toyota cars and trucks when it comes to vehicle dynamics and comfort. Don’t get me wrong, I like my Prado. But it’s a long way behind the New Defender for example. I wouldn’t trade, because I like my car. But the fanboy attitude is beyond me.
@@Toastert4co that's exactly the case here in Dubai, the shops do everything.. the average 4 wheeler has no clue what he's driving only that it's cool looking
This video is a gold mine!! Best explanations ever I’ve heard about lifted trucks. Can’t wait for the next part!! Amazing works Kai!!!
I just paused this video midway to comment that this is some of the highest quality content I've ever seen on suspensions (and overall, actually). Completely focused and perfectly concise. I'm very impressed so far!
Best videos on youtube, well done homie SUBBED
Thank you! I've watched many of your reviews even before I started this channel. Subbed as well!
The amount of work it takes to film one of his videos, from the movement demonstrations to tearing down his rig and just overall quality
As a Jeep guy I’m not sure how I got to the Toyota side of UA-cam but this was incredibly well presented and very informative. 👍
He’s got excellent presentation and knowledge. Shows the “COMPLEXITIES” of the independent front suspension 🤔🧐….
I will stay with a solid front axle less complex,more robust.
Thanks for putting this together! I haven't seen anyone else give this good of an explanation of the Toyota IFS... this was a fantastic concise overview of the suspension and all its major components and their functions! Really valuable info as a new 4runner owner thinking about mods for overlanding/offroading.
This guy is a legend, tacomaworld sent me here.
I have watched and re-watched this so many times. Its a great reference. UA-cam needs to install a counter for how many times you watch a video. I bet i've watched this 10x over the last year
Very very impressive in-depth review and demo! I don't remember seeing one like this on UA-cam. This guy makes other suspension explanation videos look like elementary student work
Just ordered new shocks, UCAs, LCAs and tie rods for my 120k mile TRD Pro. And because of your content, I understood what I was buying!
Best fuggin explanations ever in all your vids, every sentence with purpose, no repeating bs! keep killing it bro!
I can not believe how good your videos are, the pacing, the graphics, you have a real knack for this.
Oh boy, now I want to modify my bump stop to gain that last bit of articulation. Can't wait for part two!
I RANDOMLY stumbled across your channel and i have to say. ive watched 4-5 videos STRAIGHT , back to back.
i love your layout and your delivery of information etc.
you would make a GREAT tv show / educational channel for shop classes / school etc. just solely based on how you make things so visual and simplify things.
i wish / hope the best for you and your channel.
i hope the FJ market comes down again so i can get my first "truck / 4x4" ! ( never was truck guy till the last few yrs )
all i have been watching is FJ videos.
please keep this style content coming ! ( ps , i loved your sway bar video )
I appreciate the kind words man!
This guy really knows his stuff, some of our aftermarket fitters could learn something from him.
I learned more in this one video than hundreds of hours on forum’s 😢
WOW! This is undoubtedly the BEST explanation of a suspension system that I have ever seen. Clear, concise, organized and very well presented. Thank you! *SUBSCRIBED*
I'm not into off road driving but the technical level of these videos is awesome!
I've watched most of your videos now and what you are explaining to people, is what I've been telling people for years and sometimes the information hasn't been taken nicely. Now I can just refer them to your videos to explain it all! Thank you and keep these up!
Man, you rock. You make enthusiasts like me understand complex IFS setup.
My Land Cruiser 100 has a tortion bar. I wish to see a video show us how to setup a proper lift for LC 100.
Excellent as always. Can't wait for the next two videos.
It would be awesome if you did this same IFS breakdown on other popular IFS trucks like the F150. That way we could know what the actual limits of geometry are. The information you provide is extremely helpful.
Thanks for making these videos!
Incredibly well put together overview. I’m definitely looking forward to seeing the next videos!
Thank you for going into the technical details, what a great suspension video. Awesome job!
Nice job. Thanks for the info. Can't wait for the next video. Nice looking FJ, btw.
Amazingly well organized and thought through. Great video!

After watching your videos, I think when the 285’s need replacement, I will be having tge spacer lift removed and going back to 265’s.
After three years on the internet seeking the truth about lifts, you are the first person that actually makes sense and backs it up with actual data.
LOVE THIS.
Thanks much.
Incredible! Keep them coming!
Fantastic and well organized information.

Great video man! It took me years of scrounging the forums to find the info you present here. Thanks!
I've been looking for an explanation like this forever!!! Thank you!
Amazing wealth of information of the IFS and its engineering and limitations in change of certain aspects, pros and cons. Well presented so that a layman can understand. Great job.
You’re a mad Toyota scientist and I love it! Thank you bro! Can’t wait to see the vid on sway bars! ❤️👌🤙
This is truly first class knowledge and so well done.
Mate, awesome production value and determination to obtain relevant data. Much respect! Looking forward to the sway bar video. Currently getting some weird noises from the front one after a 2 inch lift IFS Prado 90 SWB. Really interested in understanding how the geometry works and what can be done. Cheers!
ok this is THE video I've needed.
WOW excellent explanation and video!
Thank you for the video. We’ll thought out with plenty of data points yet your explanations are very easy to follow. Keep up the great work.👍🏽

Hidden Gem of a video.. just found this channel yesterday and now I am hooked. Also by you adding the Prado you are providing info the Land down undAH would appreciate too... looking forward to watching the whole series.
Fantastic video. This should be required viewing for all truck owners. Thank you!
This is pure gold-I really appreciate how you neatly explain the role each element plays and how they build on each other. Many thanks. Subbed!
Thank you Kai. Your passion about engineering comes through clearly in your videos. You have a gift for sharing the information with others too. Great job with the videography and editing.
Great video. Looking forward to seeing how far you can go! Marlin crawler needs to sent you a kit to show the extreme
Grade A work here. Thanks for the information.
Great video. Watching this should be prerequisite to asking any suspension-related question on a forum or Facebook group
Awesome content! Would love one for the LC 200 series.
Awesome explanation of the IFS components, operation, limitations and guidance on optimal configurations.
Being a learn by seeing and doing guy, I appreciate the visuals and breakdown structure of the video (lessons). I feel fairly confident in wrenching my own suspension upgrade. Brilliant!
