Welcome to DF. It's so hard to tell from pictures what a vehicle may be. Gotta see it in person.

go and look at it for yourself. lay down on the ground and if there is 1 drive shaft going to the front and one to the back its 4x4.
if its just one to the rear its 4x2.

although you could probably just look on the inside floor boards an see if there is a transfer case lever there or not.
the only problem with this though is that there is a posibility that it may have full time 4 wheel drive. just to be sure peform both steps
