I noticed some threads and replies in the forums where people were bashing and there were mixed comments about the subject, just thought I would throw a thread out there for the subject. My dad does the same thing because he has a new 2010 Chevrolet 2500HD 4WD GAS, and he hated because I run 37s and can still outrun that piece of ****, but...

I used to be the same way, until...

Back when I bought this truck new, I wanted a 4WD, but didn't wait to order, and couldn't find a 4WD with this color and options around the area, so I bought a 2WD. I wanted to have a lifted 4WD so bad, but would lose my A$$ attempting to trade, so I said "screw it". I set out to build a truck that no one knew was a 2WD without asking and that was up to my standards. I have seen better examples of a lifted 2WD Dodge Ram 1500 but mine is up there with some of the better ones. You guys who have no use for lifted 2WDs, take a look at this one and tell me if you saw it going down the road, you wouldn't see it and say damn, that looks good. And, if you never saw it again, you would never know it wasn't a 4WD...the following is a description of the truck with accessories...

I call BS. No way in HELL you outran your Dads 2010 2500HD.

 

Why call BS? I'll film as best as possible with my DRIOD phone next time it happens (it's a regular occurrence), and post it for proof, I don't BS. He has the 6.0L Gas Engine and it only makes 360hp, and the truck is heavier with 3.73 gears. My truck has 3.92 with more hp, torque, and programmed shift points. It really does happen. It's probably hard for you to believe because you're running a 4.7L that would be lucky to pull a wet string out of cats a$$, but it does happen. That motor was good in the Dakotas, and I had one with a 4.7L. But, a full size truck with 250hp is a joke anymore, a Toyota Tacoma V6 has almost as much hp as your truck does, so until you've had the opportunity to drive real man ****, then don't speak up unless asked to do so...

 

One look at the front end would tell me it was 2wd. Maybe not driving past me down the road but maybe as I passed it off road.

Just bustin your *****.

Thats a good looking truck you've got and glad your proud of it.

 

That is a nice looking truck... But surely you can understand why decking out a truck with a bunch of off-road goodies that's 2wd might provoke interesting comments right?

I understand your argument but if you are so confident in your truck why would start a thread trying to defend it? You have a sweet truck there man, 2wd and all. I say, screw our opinion. Enjoy it.

 

Man you are gonna start WW3 with that kinda talk on here. I own a hemi but damn dude

the 4.7 is nothing to rag on....I raced this truck and used it to pull my 18ft toy hauler and Supra to and from the track

 

Indeed, very nice looking truck but I'm confused why you need to defend it? Does someone abused you or your truck? Enjoy it!

 

Betcha I can outrun a 2500HD.......

 

2wd lifted truck, ftl

 

Thats a great looking truck! but take it easy on the 4.7. your going to offend a lot of people on here by talking that way about it. I believe its a great motor in my book.
