H.F.A.W.H.A. meeting

[Tigermark]

Only difference between 2 and 4wd is about 50' of chain.

2wd trucks suck

Yep! Don't even make it to the hind tit!

He's probably got all the parts for the conversion, he's waiting on Sam's Spring Break to show him how to do the swap, HA!

Till Spring! This’ll be way nice then. I might be looking to build another first gen for winter this fall, maybe a 12v 4x Lil Red Express
Don’t care what I’m driving but not sure I can handle another winter of driving that girlie Xterra.

 

[CumminsPusher]

Ok, I'm going to say it again, when are you going to covert her to a 4 WD. HA!

No we wanted a 2wd forever. It gets better mileage, easier to load and handles the load better, better ride and just flat out less to fail. 9 months of the year it’ll be a far better truck for us.

Grass Fed-Braised Beef short ribs. Made with bone broth, carrots, garlic, celery, parsnips and onions. Fresh dill rosemary & oregano, salt and pepper. And an IPA to clean up the pan scrapings before dumping it in.

Yep, for me it's two or three days of winter that I would need a 4 WD. It's just all those few occasions during the year I need 4 WD, like going to the cabin, never know until we get there if the river has washed out the drive and the drive, it's a 20 minute drive off the Highway to the cabin on the drive way, if you can call that. We go quiet a few times a year. Would be very nice to have a 2 WD and a 4 WD.

@JACKAL put up a video of the new 19 Dodge trucks, 400 HP, 1000 lbs torque and 35,000 towing capacity, WOW! But I bet it comes with $ 80,000.00 to $ 85'000.00 dollar price tag. Prices are getting out of hand! I can't get my head wrapped around the torque numbers, had a Chevy 2014 with less torque than my 2017 Toyota that has more cubic inches than the Chevy, but the Chevy would out pull my Toyota that I have today, The Toyota turns into a dog after you hit 50 MPH, the Chevy would just buzz along happily at 70 MPH up and down mountains with cruse control set, pulling a 18 foot trailer with Rooster and a Zero turn mower loaded. So what's up with the torque ratings?

Like!

 

[Smitty335]

Like!

If my wife ever kicks me out, I'll be glad to move in with you. HA!

Aren’t you already living with Smitty?

 

[Russ989]

Only owned one Dodge truck in my life and it sucked ass in the winter. Ran great once you got it started but it was a cold blooded b****!

Fuel injection should qualify as one of the modern wonders of the world lol.

 

[Russ989]

You need some of those old mud/snow tires farm trucks ran and some chains.

2wd trucks suck

Grandpa always used to say the difference between 2 wheel and 4 wheel drive was the amount of chain it takes to pull you out...he was talking to a 16 year old boy at the time.
