Nice Bronco (my favorite model)! I have a '00 Taco that I just put a 2" suspension lift on last weekend and I've got a lot more in store for it as the funds become available. I'll get pics of it soon! :D

[CHAR250R]

I like that 3B. I'm currently looking for another 2A to fool around with. Most of the ones I find are trashed, and they want an arm and a leg for them.

[toby400ex]

It maybe be 2 years older than me but its in great shape. with only about 86,000 mileshttp://pictureposter.allbrand.nu/pictures/colby400ex/quad+in+back+sideview.jpg

[VIC]

I don't have either one any more:(

at one piont in time this truck was a full on trail runner(just short of trailer queen), since i got her i returned it to a daily driver.

i don't have any action pics of either. to hard to take a good action pic when you're trying to drive

[Butters]

whats a good vehicle to lift and go mudding with?

heres mine at Land Between The Lakes in SOUTHwestern kentucky on the Tennessee border. http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid77/p8a5e52741a588e064d518579dd32efcc/fb36c0b0.jpg :macho

Thanks, I bought if from a friend who couldnt keep it b/c he just had a baby.

I had to scrape a little but it was just so cherry to be 50 yrs old I had to have it, & I've never seen another one in this shape except online. I hope you can find a good flattie to play with.

haha mr.double standard ...i just posted on a thread about a kid that was mad about people having $25K quads and not jumping them...that is their problem and not his just like you told him...does that not hold true to me??? just messin with ya

[batgeek]

no double standard...they guy is riding and jumping his quad isnt he? i believe you said 10ft of air....

a person that buys a 4x4 and doesn't use it off-road is just buying it for the "cool factor". he does not, nor intends to use it off-road. now that is a waste.

[yellowrider]

i took mine offroad for the first time in the last month..

i had a blast 4 wheel drive works alot better on my 01 than my 97 did.


the reason why i didnt want to take my offroad is because i did damage to my old one and i dont want nothing bad to happen to this one...

but i had to go my best friend he got his jeep hanged up so .. guess who he calls????

well anyways after i pulled him out i hit the thing wide open.. last mudhole i go into!!! just about got stuck and went all the way up to 4 grand in 3 in lowlock ..


i like climbing the hills.. a whole lot better just creep up them .. i dont like spinning cause it could scratch my truck..

i was post pictures.. . sometime my 300ex is somewhere on this site but my truck and 400ex isnt on here yet...

also i got my truck cakuse when it snows.. my mom takes it. to get to work she works night shift and i dont want nothing to happend to her due to traction so she gets the truck during the winter when she has to work

HAHA, if i wanted an offroad vehicle i would buy a jeep or something like that...a truck's sole purpoes was not intended for offroad use...they put that ol 6' bed on them for a reason....TO HAUL STUFF (ie. quads, parts, 30packs, and millions of other things),,, so mr.know-it-all, i want a vehicle that looks cool to drive yet at the same time i need a 4x4 to get me around in the winter snow, and across the muddy feilds on our farm in the spring, oh yeah, it also has to be able to pull a 20' enclosed trailer in the summer....what vehicle is best suited for me(if not what i already got)?????? THANKS

a f^ckin 4x4 truck you dumbass.

man yer not a sharp one are you?

[sparks400]

yall got some nice trucks, i got a totally stock 95 ranger, and im gonna sell it for a chevy 1500 z71, or just a 1500 if moneys tight. i like that roost.

so why did you say it was a waste that i never took mine off-road???

[batgeek]

and across the muddy feilds on our farm in the spring

wtf? that isn't on the road is it?

you bought a 4x4 pick-up for work and stuff....you knew you were going to have to use it on the farm....

are your fields paved? cuz you have to be the first person that i know that has paved fields at his farm. what do y'all grow? pet rocks?

are you wasting yer 4x4...no.

umm thats the most ignorant thing ive ever heard. 4x4 is used for more than just "off Roading"

[batgeek]

no f^cking sh^t.

but to NEVER take it off road.........thats just lame. why even pay the extra money if yer never gonna use it?

yeah, you go ahead and use your 4 wheel drive on pavement....call me back when you wreck yer sh^t.

4 wheel drive in snow and ice doesn't mean sh^t. if yer slipping 2 wheels, 4 wheel drive is just gonna slip 4.

i swear some people on this site aren't the most intelligent people in the world.

[Glow Plug]

I sort of agree with batgeek on this one... I don't see the point of people that live in the city that go out and buy big 4x4 SUV's and truck's they don't really need it.... but I think 4 wheel drive is just a misconception among many people... When you think about how many of you have REALLY needed 4 wheel drive in lets say the last year? I don't think there would be to many.

[batgeek]

i use mine quite a bit...easily at least once a month.

there are certain places i go fishing that you can not get to in 2 wheel drive.

4 wheel drive stump pulling works a hell of a lot better than 2 wheel drive stump pulling.

[cool 300ex]

This post needs more pics!!!

[Chanman420q]

4 wheel drive gets better traction. SO yeah when driving in snow its a lot better, it handles better too. Where we park our snow mobile trailer, to get up on there in the winter 85% of the time u need 4 wheel drive ON THE SNOW. My dad is also a contactor sometimes driving up to the house, when its really ruff u need the extra wheels spinning; this isnt exactly off road though.

[batgeek]

you can only get traction where traction is available....whether you are running 4 wheels or 2.

4 wheels do not make more traction.

next.....

This is true if you were driving on ice. Just ice by itself, at that. In the snow, 4 wheels pulling is alot better than two. Instead of the back two trying to push those two fronts through the snow, the fronts can pull their own weight. If you have ever driven in more than an inch of snow on a road then you would know that it is a whole lot easier to work with in 4wd.

[batgeek]

it doesn't matter...my statement still holds true.

traction is traction...snow, ice, water, mud, etc....

and yes i have driven in snow...i lived in North Chicago for 2 years. i had no problem driving ON THE ROAD with snow in a 2 wheel drive(rear wheel) Ford F-150.

shoot, i go out to WV to go skiing/snowboarding and never have to put my Dodge in 4 wheel drive. only time i have done that is to pull a snowmo out of a not quite frozen creek.

i dont know in ny you gotta have front wheel or 4x4 to get around in the winter

[Chanman420q]

if this is true then why is 4x4 even nessisary at all for off roading?? if the back 2 wheels arent getting traction in the mud, why would 2 more make a diffrance. You just backed your self into a corner bud

[bigbadbrad]

my dad bought a new tundra a couple years ago it is a 2001, the must mud it has seen is in potaote feilds, and me taking it in i barley muddy road. he wants to keep his truck nice, he uses 4x4 when the roads get bad in the winter, and up here in maine, they do get pretty bad. i bet that that truck will never get stuck in a mudhole, because it will probaly never go into one big enough to get stuck in. his last truck was a 90 silverodo with a 350, 2wd, he never put wintertires on it he never had any problems with it in the winter, he just wanted 4x4 for peace of mind and maybe for a snowplow. i just bought me a 2001 dakota 2wd last year, i have not had any problems, and i ve followd a 4x4 with my winter tiers on, i did not get stuck, you dont always need 4x4, you just need to know how to drive in the conditions, but i am looking for a jeep or old pick up to go mud bogging woth, and to plow the driveway with in the winter

nope. i can go most places in 2wd.

where i go 4wd, not all of my tries are on the ground at the same time.

most people dont know how or when to go into 4wd....or how to drive in crappy conditions 2wd or 4wd.

ever watch rock crawling competitions...they do have a 2wd class...they just cant go everywhere a 4wd machine can go due to the fact the they dont have drive in the front wheels. thus limiting their mobility when either or both of their rears aren't on the ground.

mud bogging and swamp racing also have 2wd classes.

4wd noobs...i swear.

if 2 or 4 wheels are spinning...yer fuct. period.

next....

[Chanman420q]

most people dont know how to drive standard, so they buy automatic, most people dont know how to build an engine, so they send it to an engine builder, some people cant walk, so they have wheel chairs. Some people dont know how to safely drive in 2wd, so they put 4wd on for better handling.

[batgeek]

4wd does not provide better handling.

yer rears are pushing while your fronts are pulling. thats why you don't put it in 4wd while on the road.

anyone that has ever driven a 4wd(locking diff) would know that.

*sigh*

next...

[Chanman420q]

NOT every 4wd truck has locking differencial tho

[batgeek]

that because all the weenie yuppy idiots that buy them complained that they dont drive well....go figure eh?

the same freakin people i was complaining about....see a pattern?

4 wheel drive in snow and ice doesn't mean sh^t. if yer slipping 2 wheels, 4 wheel drive is just gonna slip 4.

i swear some people on this site aren't the most intelligent people in the world. Why pay extra for 4 wheel drive? Resale, 2 wheel drives around here have poor resale(I live in Wisconsin) I have used 4 wheel drive on pavement on the way home from work many times( on snow drifted highways,spotty ice covered roads) I usually keep the speed under 45mph. Never wrecked any thing although I wouldn't want to go much faster because you can feel alittle binding at higher speeds though. As far as 4 wheel drive doesn't mean any thing in snow you are WRONG . On a snow drifted road or a road that has ice on it not all spots are slick. So if a front or rear wheel hit a slick spot not always will the wheel at the opposite end be on a slick spot. So instead of going into a ditch or fishtail you can most of the time remain in control. If the road was a sheet of ice your statement could be true but isn't true about the snow. Your above anology of 2 wheels will slip as wheel as 4 in true in theory but, in real life most of the time when the rear drive wheels are searching traction the fronts find it. You also haven't figured into your above statement that the fronts having the weight of the engine above it help gain traction. You could add weight to the rear to get alittle more traction but usaully when you discover you need weight in the back you are s.o.l. !!!!!

[batgeek]

resale...ok, i'll give ya that.

that binding is happening at low speeds also, you just can't feel it.

you have had different experiences than me with the 4wd in snow...i never had to use 4wd in IL for driving on a snow covered road. but like you stated, i knew to put bags of sand in my bed before the conditions got crappy.

[LazeR]

omfg....batgeek your not to inteligent are you? my dad has been 4 wheeling for over 25 years and ive been doing it for about 7....and i can tell you this.....4 wheel drive helps a helluva alot in the snow! and a locking diff doesnt do didly in the snow.....doesnt help one bit....but in the mud say climbing a hill you try it in 2wd hardly make it cause back 2 tires are spinning then put it in 4wd make it up farther then those wheels spin then you engage your locker and make it even farther....why? cause your getting more traction to the wheels that arent slipping as much! 4 tires spinning will get you farther then 2 tires spinning! before you open your mouth you should learn some stuff genius!

[batgeek]

and i have been 4 wheeling for 12 years....so what yer point again.

if you dont have traction, yer wheels aint gonna do ****...

wheels dont make traction. wheels USE traction.

4 tires spinning will not get you farther than 2 tires spinning.....they are just spinning.

now 4 tires with traction WILL get you farther than 2 wheels with traction.

more idiots replying to this post...wonderful.

where did i say 4wd DOESN't help in snow? i just said it isn't necessary. traction rule applies here also.

where did i say locking diff helps in the snow?

reading comprehension is yer friend ya know....

this is me in my 76 jeep cj 5, climbing a hill that isnt very steep but its slicker then hell and very deep ruts....need about 5" lift and 36's to go in the ruts...some places need bigger

out at this place last year a guy with a toyota pickup that was lifted 6" and had i think 35's got stuck up to the windows in mud

[batgeek]

for some reason yer pic isn't working. just a box with German writing in it.

cut and paste the link from Properties and i could see the pic though. nice Jeep, that hill looks fun.

i tried it too...got the same result. if i remember a little of my German from college, it may say that you have exceeded yer bandwidth limit...not sure though.

maybe just post the link and tell folks to cut and paste into a new browser.

[LazeR]

naa it was one of those dumb places that dont let you direct a link to the page or something so i just set up a imagestation account....it should show up now

so from what you're saying a 4wd would NOT give an additional 50% of the available traction over a 2wd.

for some reason i think it would.......
