I would just tell them a lifted Honda Ridgeline would do better than the Bronco. Has the same front end and steering and the Ridgeline is more practical because it can haul Futons and other house hold items for their wives.
Dirtlifestyle did a Tacoma IFS build and took it on Ultimate Adventure and right after that he put it up for sale. I saw he broke some CVs etc. Seen lots of steering component problems on the new Bronco from tire rods to the rack and pinion. Design by committee screwed the Bronco when they went with IFS IMO.
