Sandbags!

Cheapest way to make my 4x2 into a 4x4

 

Wishful thinking.

 

Sled dog?




Dog cost over a lifespan - more expensive than getting a 4x4.

 

Not wishful thinking. Making the best out of what they’ve got.

 

No kidding, she will probably need leg surgery in the near future too so there goes any hopes of mods for a little.

 

Damn right!

 

I tried that in an old ranger pickup years ago, it did get better traction. After the bags were in the bed for a few months the sand somehow made it's way inside the cab, little by little more and more got in there. My mistake was being lazy and leaving them in there, remove when not needed and you'll be happier.

 

That’s odd how it creeped into the cab… I figured keep ‘em in until I finally secure a camper!

 

Loading sandbags in the bed of your truck makes the front wheels spin?

 

I’d say my pedal commander is a bigger contribution to make those wheels spin

 

Three wheel drive. Steering wheel!

 

When ya put it like that

 

better then nothing!

 

I lived in park city Utah for 9 years I would put a 50lb sand bag at the rear wheel wells and hardly needed to use 4wd for around town/freeway driving ...works EXTREMELY WELL

 

It honestly felt like a whole new ride! Mines about 200 lbs of sand. Utah is high on my list for states to visit

 

Absolutely, I can take corners at 50 mph without shitting my pants

 

I know the feeling! While I do have a 4WD, last summer I put a bed topper and a Decked drawer system in,,, so it is HEAVY. Now with all the bed weight and new A/Ts, 4WD is rarely needed.

 

For better traction in the winter i also put 200lbs of sand bags in the bed... but over the rear axle.

 

Did you ever open your rear slider?

 

I don’t get it.

Beautiful doggo though!
