Any videos of 3rd Gen 4x2s doing hill climbs?

Curious to see how capable to the 2wd is on these.

 

Watching for this. It would be cool to compare a normal 4x2 vs a OR 4x2 with the locker.

 

Hill climb in a 2wd? Ain't going far unless it's dry pavement!

 

It's very much possible good sir. Maybe not as inclined as 4x4s can handle, but it is very much possible.

 

If your talking sand hill climbs then I will wager that 2wd 3rd gens dont have the ponies to spin sand tires

 

Probably right on this, but I saw a video of an old 2wd nissan with some sand tires that made it possible. But I am looking for more of a gravel, mud and dirt perspective. I'll take whatever I can get though.

Also a 4x2 with locker compared to a 4x4

 

its not a 3rd gen but its a 2nd gen

I clearly have no reading comprehension. same concept though I guess, so ill still say it was productive haha

 

This is closest thing I have ever seen. Shows just what a locker can do with a 4x2. It's a gen 1 but same principles would still apply to a gen 3.

yep

 

Yup that about sums it up. 2wd TRD OR is nothing short of gimmicky.

You know what a locked rear end in 2wd is good for? Side hilling and sliding the ass end of the truck around an obstacle. Oh, and maybe pulling a stump or something if you put ALOT of weight in the bed

 

Comments on the video say otherwise.

EDIT: Also those tires don't seem like real off roading tires.

 

Sorry, I should have stated IMHO.

 

Just to be politically correct right?

 

Just found this, although it's not a hill climb, it displays some of the obstacles it can still overcome.

 

Good God those wheels are fkn ugly... Someone give me a bucket

 

Sweet truck beside putting Tyrones Cadillac wheels on it.

 

I didn't know the 2WD 3rd gen had a lesser "ponies" motor. How much extra pony power does a 4x4 have?

Edit: where do you get your material for this type of comment????
