Looks like 2wd to me. Sits low, and if it was 4x4 it would have a cut-out for the front hubs instead of a full cap (even if it had auto hubs).

Everything is for sale for the right price... but my wife would kill me if I sold it after all the time and money I've put into it.

Also, it looks much better from far away than it does up close! haha

Mine started as a 2wd dually with 160k miles that I bought for $5k

Now it is a 4x4, has a built trans, plus the other mods in my signature. The only mod it had when I bought it was the intake.

You could buy that 2wd for $2500 and convert it to 4wd.

If I was going to do it, I would want a whole donor truck rather than looking for individual parts.
