Is your Taco 4wd or 2wd?

FIFY

 

Just saw this on Facebook. Seemed fitting

 

Sick!!!

 

is this yours? ive been looking for a build thread for one of those bumpers.

 

Either way, he had "ice road invincibility syndrome" and was going way too fast for the weather. This syndrome is more common in Hummer, Escalade and Super Duty drivers, but unfortunately anyone can become infected.

 

Wish it was.

It looks like it belongs to Easy Rider. It was posted 1 page back.

And heres another PreRunner for the 2wd haters.

 

They don't offer manual tranny/V6/AC in a 4x4?

 

4wd is always good, but it cost more...and more insurance...and more maintenance...and worse gas mileage etc...I went the cheaper route and got a Prerunner being that the clearance is great, load capacity is that of a 4x4, and Toyota is the only company that offers the Prerunner type truck. Plus growing up living in the mountains i've taken a 2wd most places my friends took 4wd's. Now living in the city unfortunately I would rarrrrrely engage 4wd..The money I save goes to all my other hobbies I guess.

 

He's saying he would've bought a 2wd v6 manual access cab if it was offered I think.

 

I bought my 4wd when I moved up to the CO/WY areas, it's pretty essential. Meanwhile, my brother who lives in Dallas drives a 2wd Wrangler

 

We used to be! I lived just off Abernathy. Now I live in Johns Creek, still not too far away!

 

Ok great. I guess I'm a little paranoid...lack of knowledge seems to do that to me. I'm used to knowing the ins and outs of everything I own. Part of being an autodidact I guess.

 

Didn't know they built 2wd wranglers!

 

If I had wanted a 2wd I would have had to special order it. They're that rare up here in Vermont. Mine is a DD and 2wd in the winter can be done but 4wd is just so much better. If I was somewhere that never got snow, I'd have gotten 2wd. That's why I was curious as to the distribution of 2wd vs 4wd.

I have never used chains, but I did have a couple of 100# concrete blocks that went over the axel when I drove a 2wd pickup. And yes, "icy road invulnerability" is a problem here as well. When we used to carpool 45 minutes each way, a buddy of mine and I used to keep track of the 4wd vehicles off the road in the winter.

... ^^^ ... When I lived in Quebec and drove down to VT, NH, Maine and etc ... sometimes I drove a Subaru Wagon that never got stuck ... ... even when I was run off the road down (down a steep grade) in a creek bed ditch. ...

i liked that homely looking Subaru Wagon (with hidden cyclops grill light) better than my old CJ-5 and CJ-7 for snow & ice highway driving ...

I almost made a mistake by buying a PreRunner

 

Crap I did make that mistake

 

Very true, plenty of those on this forum!

 

4wd's can do that too

Not the best pic of his rig, but the only one I could find flexing the frontend.

 

You argument is invalid Logan's truck is made of pure awesome.

Check TTORA for more pics I've been following his build since 07
