    one week old! give it time...
    Had My truck for 12 days now... been a TW member for under a week.
    Already, I look at all these great builds and I'm hating myself for not shelling out the extra dough for the 4x4.

    All you PreRunner guys, please tell me all the great things about why i should be glad I have a 4x2.

    .... and, go!

    I plan on going Long Travel so thats why i'm glad I don't have 4wd :)

    The rear locker is plenty for my needs and I can hang with the 4x4's most of the time

    Because 4x2 = 8 which when turned on it's side is "infinity" ... Pre-runners are the official vehicle of the gods.

    Whereas 4x4 = 16, which is just sweet.

    it's flat here in H-town, and it rarely snows here, unless you go 4wheeling you really don't need the 4x4, around SE TX. it sure is nice to have it of course. I have a rear locker and it does everything i need it to do. I don't know how much maintenance you have to do on a 4 wheel drive, and not to mention the MPG drop. I'm very happy with my preRunner.
