Toyota drank the IFS Kool-Aid a long time ago. The Land Crusher, which I once admired greatly, used to be solid axle on both ends. Somewhere in the late 1990s they went to independent suspension and haven't looked back.

Toyota did drink the IFS Kool-Aid. While the 100, 200 and 300 series Land Cruisers all have IFS, you can still buy a brand new 70 series wagon or pickup with solid axles anywhere else in the world.

I own two IFS Land Cruisers and they are phenomenal long distance machines and very comfortable on high mountain pass trails. They definitely don't have the travel of a solid axle, but they do ride nice and have proven to be extremely reliable. 

 

The 200 series camper on BAT is a very nice build, but I don't see $200k of value in it. Clearly somebody did though!
