Lift kit

beat you to it (this time).

 

Trust me I wish I could go off-roading this is my first truck and its being handed down. Its 2wd so sadly not much you can do with that.

 

Who said you can't off-road with a 2wd?

 

2wd challenge: How far can you get without 4wd?

I used to wheel like this all the time.. used to only turn 4wd when necessary.

 

Nothing wrong with taking it easy, and keeping the truck intact. I've wheeled the hell outta my truck, but it's also always been my DD, and I bought it with my own money at 17.. so I was highly motivated not to do stupid shit off road.

 

lol, listen to @Kwikvette, he took his prerunner offroad plenty.

Plus down the road you can (relatively easily) convert your truck to a 4x4. There are people who've done it for less than $1500, not including selling the old transmission.

It's easier than you think....

 

Challenge?

Isn't that like, what we all do?

It's like a kid stepping on the colored tiles pretending the others were made of "lava"

I never put my 4R in 4x4 unless it's either muddy, snow, or hitting an obstacle. Otherwise, 2WD with aired down tires gets me most places.

 

This OP.

Plus, learning to wheel with a 2WD only makes you that much better/experienced for when you finally go 4WD.

Seeing "TRD" in your signature tells me you've got a locker, which puts you ahead of the game already. A locked 2WD with ground clearance and aired down tires can get you plenty far short of hitting mud/snow.

 

Thank you you guys are a lot of help really. I figured sense there was no 4wd I would be practically screwed

 

Some old pics

 

Is this a 2wd?

 

As mentioned earlier, yes.

Got rid of it though; too many vehicles at the time.

 

Badass man

 

Don't listen to @Kwikvette, that dude lurks around on a Tacoma site but owns a (4wd) 4Runner!


But seriously, you can have plenty of fun with 2wd.

This is 2wd...



You of course always want to drive with friends and have basic recovery gear with you in case you do get stuck, but that's the case if you're 4wd, too.

 

That means only one thing. Righteous burnouts.

 

My 4R identifies as a Tacoma

 

You're one of those new agey types, aren't you.

At least you kept the motor and front suspension in the family.

 

Does the diff locker only come on TRD models? I have a diff locker but I’m pretty sure I don’t have a TRD truck lol, First gen Prerunner

 

Enjoyed this thread and learned some new things, appreciate everyone helping out us new guys!
