Good tires and momentum! That is the KEY to doing anything off-road.

A hill climb I could do no problem in 4x4 with my F-350 was a great challenge in my 2wd. I had to get up to 40 before hitting the bottom of the hill. It was a great ride to say the least.

1990 Dodge Ram. Two wheel drive. Got like 18mpg. It had bald tires and I took it wheeling around december in washington. Hitting mud puddles and doing some small hill climbs and bump jumps.

I miss that truck. -_- Its kind of sad when my big rig gets 10mpg LESS haha.

Seal 'er up good if your taking it puddle jumping in december when they' freeze over. I had some funny sounds after that.

Totally worth it though. ^_^

 

throw a locker in the rear, ive heard good things about the aussie.

I would go with a 35" tire, in the rear throw them on just for wheeling if you want.

Or get 35" all around and trim some fenders.

Make sure you get a high lift jack, some tow STRAPS


As for the hockey puck body lift, yea i would consider it, On one condiditon and one condition only, the truck was never gunna go faster than 25mph and NEVER see a road, even then. I would rather weld in some metal tubing.


Just cause alot of people do it and think its a good idea doenst mean it is.

Take for instance meth heads, there is alot of them and they think its a good idea, are you gunna go do some meth?
Same thought process if you ask me.

 

I was just kidding about the hockey pucks. Im not going to put a body lift on my truck. I really dont have a use for that much lift. I just wanted to see if anyone here has built a 2WD trail truck. Thank you all for the advice. The only question I have left is will M/T's on the front make any diffrence.

 

You'll be fine going in most stuff in 2wd, I'm still waiting for my last TSL to get here and I went mudding with 2 street tires!!!

look at some of the stuff we went through, Look what happens when a hot shot driving a Fx4 goes in 2wd! joseph

as for m/ts on the front, yea they will help with steering, but once they get packed up with mud and junk, they will be useless.

 

I figured as much, with no power to clean them I might as well save the money and use A/T's on the front. Yaaaaayyyyy!!!!! Now I just have to fix all the little stuff.

 

I keep getting a page that says the profile is set to private. (I.E. no video)

 

yup same for me.

 

lemme fix that, I think the site operator had tooooo many! lol

 

well num nutz is sleeping! soo here they are









Look at MR. I think I can do anything in 2wd

 

I went through all of that with 2 street tires up front! except where joseph got stuck

 

ahahah the tow truck cracks me up.... Some jacking and lumber would have gotten you out much faster and im sure much cheaper.

 

yeah I had some wood but it wasnt long enough for how deep the truck was stuck. The tow truck guys are friends of ours, they installed our lifts, tires, exhausts, so after all that we get free tows!!!

 

well then i guess that works out kinda nice, but i like doin all my own wrenching.... Either way, free tow's cant complain about that!

 

thats awesome. how may tried before they got you out?
