    4wd will make your truck more capable then a rear locker and no 4wd.

    I know, but then I'd need a new transmission and I don't really wanna replace something that hasn't given me any problems. And more money would have to go into LT if it's 4wd by then

    I saw somewhere on here that the 2wd and 4wd transmissions are different...Something to do with the tailshaft or something I think

    good idea captain long travel
    LOLZ!!!!!





    but for real, off roading connects people like not much ive seen before. was picking up my material for the shock relocation bar, and the guy at the metal place saw my truck and started asking questions and quickly realized I was went wheeling (he has a jeep), then he found out i actually like to rock crawl, unlike most people apparently haha. So he was all stoked to find Somone else to go play in the rocks with. So I got another friend to go wheeling with!

    Yeah, wheeling is really the only thing I have to connect with other people on.

    While I love the place I work at, I know that moving to New Mexico or Vegas in a few years will be better for me socially.

    That's why I enjoyed this Summer so much. So many people to talk with and meet. I'm very anti-social, but get me talking about off roading and I'll never shut up haha
