01f1502wd that **** is awesome don't get me wrong these trucks for bahaing are amazing I'm just saying if I had the money to blow would I be able to make a 4x4 do that's stuff or is it impossible. Or should I say not impossible just a major waste. I understand the flexing part that the 4x4s can't flex as far as a 4x2s front. But if it was a perfect world and I had the money could I do it.

That's ******* haha. But I figured out y y'all are saying 2 wheels front axles are better it cuz 4x4 front axles will be hollow between the upper and lower ball joints becuz of the axle itself in the center and need to be room for the universal to spin and turn. So if you launch a 4x4 so some feet in the air on the landing your going to bend the axle at the least. A 4x2 can be solid between the ball joints and take the abuse of a had landing cuz it's not hollow so has the ability to take the shock and keep going.

Yes, there are 4wd trophy trucks out there, Terrible Herbst is one that comes to mind. Cost is a major reason, suspension design and additional components/weight are another. The transmissions in these vehicles run about 30k....

How much would it cost to put a locker in? Bc just having one tire spin isn't fun. I want both.
