Yep, solid axles with leaf springs are definately better for real off-road situations than an IFS truck.
But I did build a IFS Geo Tracker that did really well off-road. Once I got the front diff figured out(stockers break really easy when you go airborne), I logged quite a few air miles. lol
Of course, it did have a cage. Pic....

Thats at my buddys shop, its small but its heated/cooled so its nice.
Its more of a play toy than a mud toy, its gettin a 2 or 3" lift since the 30 year old springs are sagging bad.
They are Fbody headers.
