2W vs 4W..?

L

Lava road

possibly a ghost :(
After watching a few YouTube videos of 2 wheel trucks going off road..many with lockers or limited slip units…Yes they all claim they can go most places a 4 wheeler can go…I agree…

Having a four wheel drive makes it easier vs 2 wheel drive.. but you will always run into very difficult hills or roads…. Most stock height trucks will go most places a 2 wheel drive truck can go to.. but there will alway be a bad spot..where a lifted truck will be able to mange better..
Lifted vs no lift…
Yet again just because you have 4wheel drive …does not mean you can go anywhere…. Meaning lockers / limited slips may take you farther..

It is nice watching two wheelers.. I am sure they wish there rigs actually has a four wheel system… My bicycle has two wheels…I went from 4 wheels to two…. A two wheeler today…lol
Aloha

Just a note …At my age ..I may need to make my bicycle a four wheeler drive again…

I have a 2wd, but my plans are going towards the desert runner/trophy truck build...not planning on crawling or overlanding.
 
Many two wheelers …like dune buggies…sand runners…etc.. Does not require 4-wheel drive…and many of off the road trails…too….
It is nice to know you can go more places, I seen many people park on the side of the road…on green grass..especially when it rains..get struck..(2W)…lol
Alo ha
