    Welcome! :wave:

    We have pretty regular meet ups on Monday nights. Usually around 6:30 and the destination changes as we pick them the week of or prior. We have trail runs, mod days, etc. Everything us usually planned out and or posted in a few Az section threads. Just scope out the Az section and enjoy!

    Welcome to TW.
    It all depends on what you want to achieve with your truck.
    2WD isn't necessarily bad, a lot of Long travel trucks are 2WD.
