    I live in SoCal and use my 4wd all the damn time haha.

    I drove up the 395 in February to go to Tahoe for a few days, the entire highway was covered in snow/ice from Bishop all the way up to Tahoe. It was incredible

    Thats funny man, I knew this guy who bought a "4x4" Silverado. The guy that sold it to him actually just put 4x4 stickers on the bed sides and the dude that bought it took like 2 months to find out it was not 4x4. It worked out for him though because he wanted to lower the truck and its easier with a 2wd lol

    This has got to be a troll thread. No one in their right mind would devalue a 4x4 when they could sell it and buy a newer 4x2 and have money left over. It makes zero sense.

    Sure did. Delays and life have made meeting goals difficult, to make it AWD.

    At speeds though, there was waaaaaay too much vibration from front end due to bushing slop.
