Got her dirty for the first time

I ended up taking my 2wd sport out for the first time today on some trails and it worked out substatially better than expected. I just found I need to know my limits for the most part.

How do you guys feel about off-roading your 2wd?

 

Thats sick, just be safe and aware

 

You can't truly off-road in a 2wd...

 

Then what do pre runners do?

 

thats dirty? california kills me. i havent seen my truck that clean since summer! i have a 4x4 but i do a fair amount of offroading in 2wd. figure that way if i end up in a bad spot i can still get out in 4wd but ive been some pretty crazy places in just 2wd

 

6" maxtrac lift spindles, spacer blocks, and power steps!

 

Obviously you haven't seen what Bruce can do @Dangerousd1987

Where is this? Holy Jim?

 

It's a toy, please use it as so and of course you said you figured out limitations. Have fun!

 

They use these threads on the Ridgeline forums to make fun of us ....

 

Naaa that was the start of the day

 

Yea actually

 

Mall crawl, duh.

 

Was hoping someone would post something similar to this, as a 2wd owner myself. I just couldnt justify spending the $$ for the 4x4 because I would almost never use it (city boy). But when I do want to go trailing, it's nice to know the 2wd can hold it's own.

 

But who really cares? They're Ridgeline owners. They cry every night because they couldn't afford a true midsize pickup.

 

Well Tacoma owners cry all day because their truck rides too hard
Doesn't have adaptive cruise
No power seats

 

At the end of the day, least I can say I don't drive an AWD truck

 

I think an awd truck is probably better for 99% of uses than a 2wd. Just saying

 

I've done plenty of off roading in 2wd trucks. A few things that help when you only have 2wd. Positraction, regearing, manual transmission, lowered tire pressure. I've made it trough some gnarly stuff with that. I had a ranger stop me deep in the glamis dunes and asked me how I made it so far. My one simple answer, "Don't let off the gas." Granted you still won't be able to go many places a 4x4 won't, but you can still have a blast off roading. You may need to get stuck a couple times to know what your truck and driving ability can handle. Have fun and be safe!
