    because then I have to get rid of the mantric spindles

    Plus, I am in college now but have plans for after college and I am stuck on a decision right now. Should I just build a true prerunner with LT suspension and everything, OR convert to 4x4 and SAS it... so I am holding off on that for now :D

    From Urban Dictionary: Prerunner

    a vehicle that is used primarily for the desert, typically these vehicles are two-wheel drive. A customized vehicle that can have the following: upgraded coilovers, long travel rear leafs, Deavers, long travel kit, uniball upper control arm, bed cage...etc.

    Tony: I just got a new truck yesterday.
    Kirsten: Are you going to do anything to it?
    Tony: Yeah, I want to it make it into a prerunner, maybe a Camburg or a Total Chaos long travel kit...I wanna go fast on the desert.

    Oh okay. Why would a truck designed for the desert be 2WD, though? Why not 4x4 if there is an option?

    With 2wd you don't have CV joints (4wd capability) which allows for more wheel travel which is need when jumping in the desert to absorb the impact of landing. If CV angles get too great they can break so there will be less wheel travel. Plus I think 2wd is a requirement for the big Baja racers? Idk haven't actually looked it up

    Basically, 2wd isn't as prone to breaking parts as a 4wd when jumping in the desert. Hope that makes sense lol :p

    I've seen both and the prerunners always complain because they can't stop in soft sand, they will sink and spin the tires the whole time. 4wd LT is the way to go if you're going to do it. Look up Joel's build, probably top 3 best of LT builds on here with 4wd.
