u know its a 4x2 because no fog lights plus no 4x4 badging, hmm knowing my luck i would try that and get stuck in my 4x2 03 supercrew, heh :-\

 

Fog lights were an option on the 4x4s and how can you see the badging? Isn't it usually on the side at the back end?

 

Well it's also not muddy. You can see the road behind is fravel and farely solid.

 

There is alot to be said for momentum.

 

Drove my 4x4 through a mud puddle well over the wheels about 40 feet long. When I moved forward at a quick pace it went over the hood. Went through it three times as I was with a few guys and their trucks... didn't want to be the laughing stock. Took my two boys (at the time they were 7 and 9). I took my truck to the local trails about a month and a half after I got it. Did a pretty good job of scratching it up, but most of my buddies tell me "it's a truck, so what?" My truck wasn't Island Blue when I got done, it was mud brown.

I'll agree with Roger, there is a lot to be said for momentum. If my truck had stopped it would have sucked in a lot of water, mud and who knows what else. I drug the front diff most of the way... guess that's why there's such things as swampers and lifts. There's also something to be said for the carpet delete option, too.
