I wasn't referring to your truck redneck! Just to people who lift their 4wd trucks and leave them on the pavement.

I'd venture out in the snow more with mine if I had some flat land to play on, nothing but hills here.

this one looks like more fun.
Back when I had my Fiero, I was looking at engine swap kits, and found one to drop an Olds 455 from a Tornado into it...... Holy smoke....

But my lil open diff 2wd does pretty damn good, if I do say so myself.

Least I'm brave enough to take my 2wd into the mud and snow... Better then those lifted 4x4's that are 100% pavement trucks
Our 4WD has something like a 2" lift on the rear and nothing on the front ROFL... 'Least i think it is a lift, gonna have 2 post a pic sometime. It's def a high ride 4wd LOL..

I think I've only had my truck in 4wd three times since I've owned it.
The third time was today on some pavement after it rained out. I just reinstalled my front dshaft and wanted to test it (removed it a month ago bcuz I thought it might have been related to a problem I have). I pulled outta the parking spot and the front of the truck started jumping about every half revolution of the wheels (when turning hard).

I've never been in 4wd on pavement and I thought this was abnormal. So I proceeded to take the dshaft out and reinstall the tcase end 90 degrees from where it was (and its a PITA to get that side on when I dont have stubby wrenches). Yet was still having the same problem...come to find out, that's how it's supposed to work.
