I'll second what's been said here, and add that the H1 is the jack-of-all-trades off-road vehicle. It's a tow vehicle capable of pulling a howitzer up a dune, it's a desert racer, and it's a rock crawler. It doesn't tow as well as some other vehicles, it doesn't go as fast as a trophy truck, and it doesn't crawl like a built-out Samurai, but there's no other vehicle that does all those things combined like the H1.

Except the Toyota FZJ80.

Just kidding.

As a guy who went from IFS to solid axle, I can verify that the on-road handling of the SFA is comparable to the IFS. I still like the IFS for its comfort, and I could go faster on a bumpy trail in my Xterra than I can in my FZJ80, which, at speed, is all over the place. I've been up to Calmini and seen the SAS kits that they have, and have heard the reviews on their performance, and if I still had my Xterra, I'd go for it. The Xterra with SFA is a bad mofo.
