I'll bet one of two things happens.

1) Since you've been wheeling a 2wd all this time you'll do very well.

or

2) Since you've been wheeling a 2wd all this time you're going to go nuts and get mad stuck.





TAKE A CAMERA.

From: Cincinnati, Ohio - Amelia is the exact place. There is no one else on this site from where I am. Seems like everyone is from Cali or Washington. I guess I need to move.
You should put a set of tires and driveshafts on the sides and and a couple solid axels on the roof of your truck, just as a saftey plan.

That leads me to believe there was a mechanical failure of some point, Tell us what happened and we can decide if its vehicle or driver...


Oh and, Pics or it didnt happen

OK, since I am not much of a sleeper and do all my crime at night, here I am posting my maiden voyage.

It went HORRIBLE. I flogged the hell out of my truck. Floored it everywhere. Treated it like crap. Tried several hill climbs (even mud!) and despite my bald tires it didn't do that much better than my 2wd.

Story:

After trying to make it up a hill (I had my foot to the floor a couple times for a second or two!) my truck started running really crappy. I drove about 100 yards or so and got out to check all the connections. Turns out my TPS plug came off. Plugged it back in and started it...still ran like crap. So, I couldn't find the culprit so I decided to drive back to my truck with the dolly (not running good!) and while I was in 2H and 1st gear about 10mph my truck slipped out of gear and died. So, I put my foot on the clutch and I was still rolling backwards...so I immediately put my foot on the brake. Tried starting it and engine wouldn't turn over just the famous start spin sound. Tried to jump start it in reverse and when I would pop the clutch it caught once but then just didn't catch...it would roll IN GEAR!!!

Walked a couple miles back to my truck and loaded it back up...and here I am now. I made a video and got some pics...but no wheeling...because I was too worried about everything else. LOL.












-> here is my vid!

1st and 2nd attempts were in 4lo, 3rd attempt was accidentally in 2hi, 4th attempt 4hi

Oh man that sucks. You could have made that hill in 2wd if you had a locked rear. I hope your next trip goes better
