[QUOTE="Kevin Lang, post: 765058, member: 65699"] I don't wish that I had 4x4. The 4wd system seems to always break when you need it, as it is prone to rust up and die from disuse, and it isn't that convenient to me. To use 4wd for all these massive offroading excursions that people post here, you need to lift for bigger tires, which is difficult as the 4wd vehicle can only be lifted with measures that have large (too large IMO) drawbacks. 2wd you just get your shackles and you're good. No shrinking the travel of your suspension or using iffy body lifts which impede servicing the ride with the ease that you would have normally. With 2wd you'll never have to make embarassing posts on here about how to engage or disengage 4wd LO :) Most Importantly, if--or when--you do something awe inspiring with your trac, when you say "I've got 2wd", there will be a heightened sense of revere for your accomplishment.
