H3ll ya thats true

 

ya just a lil bit... but idk

 

just start buying parts 1 at a time and soon enough u will have all the parts you will need to get it done..this type of a build takes alot of time and money..just remember that!...thats 2 reason why mine isnt a pre-runner lol..no time and no money

 

ill trade ya when you get here. All i do is haul @$$ in the desert too but id still rather have 4wd.

If its actually going to be a "prerunner" or "race truck" 8g's is nothin for 2 or 4wd. keep your 4x4, you'll be happy you did it

 

so a 4x4 prerunner at glamas would be best... cuz yes they do make prerunner kits for my truck but its not that much travel

 

what kit have you looked at?

 

camburg kits

 

eh..they do give u 16 in of travel..i think thats pretty good..but if u race u might want to get a 4 link system....

 

dixon bros makes 4wd kits, check on years.

 

H3ll ya guys ill look into it

 

just drop the back right now

bam instant pre runner look

 

lol^

Nothing wrong with having 4x4 and going prerunner/long travel (LT). There's others on here that are 4x4 and setup for long travel. If you do wind up out in PHX having 4x4 plus long travel could let you have the best of both worlds to a degree. Not only could you play in the dunes out in western AZ and SE Cali, but you could also play on trails that would require 4x4. Search ORR for DesertSpive. He has photos of him playing out in dunes and out in Moab playing on the rocks. If you stay out in OH, honestly LT seems a tad out of place.

On that note, why sell your truck when you already have a platform of known vehicle history, not to mention payments on it still? There might be more 'options' for doing LT setups on a 2wd. But then again, when you start sinking 8-20k+ into a long travel system it doesn't really matter what ya got, 2wd or 4wd, because by the time you're done spending a modest down payment on a house for your truck to be setup it's pretty much cost ya the same to setup either a 2wd or 4x4 vehicle.

 

lol woolworths truck is my screen saver...i love that truck so much


edit: and dude u can go from pre-running to some rock crawling..that is freaking awesome..and you know it..just fix up your ride

 

take out the blocks and put a 5 inch flipkit on instant prerunner.

 

Your best bet would be to take a good look at a Ranger Trailhead edition for an example, it retained 4x4 type of suspension yet was still 2 wheel drive.

Your major parts to swap would most likely be the spindles, trans, and driveshaft.
The trailhead version was basically a 4 wheel drive truck minus the 4x4 running gear. It used the torsion bar type suspension, (IFS), like a 4x4 truck.

There's a Ranger Trailhead on eBay now,

Or just buy an 2wd edge?

 

you have a very great point... if ima spend the money and time and plus get more out of it... i should say fu(k it im going for it
