Depends how you drive and tires. My Cherokee in high school has LTB's on the back and was 2wd OPEN diff. there were plenty on times I had to drag out the Z71'S and a bronco.

Don't. Just Don't.
You are opening up a can of worms...
It started out as a perfectly innocent thread, as many do, but then... then it will go to poop.

The 4x4 vs 2x4 guys will be at each others throats...
The mocking of the 2x4 guys will make the 4x4 guys feel almighty and powerful....
Then the fuel economy statements will be made in rebellion to the 4x4 people along with the "we just didn't need it, it seemed impractical and not worth the money."

And then when the tension becomes to high... the "well you have a small penis" jokes will come out and tacomaworld will erupt in bad typing, grammatical errors, and offensive slurs. Friends will become enemies and the legendary tacoma truce will be forgotten. Gangs will be formed. Hatred will fill the hearts of the once golden tacoma people and time will stand still, as it once did during the dark ages when the "VW beetle" was popular. Life will go on.. slowly... less exciting.. in a seemingly darker place all because tacomaworld will have fallen to the very people who once created it. Then, when all hope is lost and life seems so irrelevant a light will come. A forgotten light. A Canadian light. The all and powerful "OZ-T" of tacomaworld will have to restore the balance. He will of course need the help of Bigfoot or Sasquatch out of the deep Canadian wilderness but they will fix it, they will not fail us. And then we will tell our children of this great war, of the men and trucks lost at the hands of their brothers, and we will not forget. We will NEVER forget.

So simply put.. No, don't offroad in a 2wd truck. You will probably get stuck and break something. 4x4 is an option for a reason, if you want it buy it. It is always worth the money.

At one point I owned a Kia Minivan of all things (I don't like to admit this ), boy I used to punish the crap out of it. I think it being Front wheel drive helped, but yeah you can offroad just about anything. All depends on the driver, clearence and some understanding of the terrain ahead.

I've had plenty of fun in 2wd trucks, shoot even in the mud (not smart to go mudding in 2wd though ).

hahaha!
i don't mind admitting i had a 1990 buick lesabre; that thing was freaking awesome... well, the times between the intermittent and unexplainable electrical problems and the window motors no longer working after 75k miles

Could probably do just as good as the current man running this thing.

I have a 2wd and I do plenty of offroading. It's all about how well you know your truck and can operate it. But I know some of us get 2wd and wish they would have paid for 4wd but the last time I had 4wd I was getting myself in deeper and deeper shit than what I was already in.

t4daddy · Mar 7, 2014

I've been through more shit in a '76 Datsun B210 four door sedan than most people would EVER believe.

Del Scorcho · Mar 13, 2014

Sticking to the Desert (if you have any) or fire/logging roads will keep you out of trouble.

It's the lack of 4Lo combined with a steep, loose/rocky/muddy down hill that would concern me more than getting stuck. ABS in not your friend...
