Took my truck roadin.

Hey, had the truck wheelin this weekend, few things I noticed...need new shocks, and a level kit for the front..need new tires....need a relay for my lights that can withstand vibrations of off roading..other than that had a blast...saw a caribou, 2 beavers, numerous squirrels and 2 geese.

just lift your 2 wd and put a locker in the back and you will go lots of places.

get an arb air locker so when your on pavment it works as an open diff....fire some off road gear on it and have fun in the dirt. I wheeled a 93 2wd for years with loads of sucess. and get a winch....that will save your *** more times than you can count.

You will never be as happy with 2wd as you could be with 4, you'll always wonder, could I have gotten myself out, would I really have had to get all muddy...etc etc etc. I am definitely never going to have a 2wd again, especially with open differential. But he is right, if you have 2 and can't get 4wd, get a winch, everyone knows it can save your *** more than any lockers would.
