Truck looks like a monster! Now I can't wait to lift mine haha. Soon, now I know what set up to run and what works with 37's. Wow man I'm just astonished with the way your rwd sits! Congrats!

Call me a hater, but...

Sure it looks cool...but that's about it. Why get a 2WD V6 for this build? You've obviously dropped a lot of coin into this truck but it's not 4WD and it doesn't have the power to turn the wheel/tire combo you've put on it. Maybe your thousands of dollars spent on mods would have been better spent on getting the right truck to start with.

Hopefully a regear will regain some functionality.

It's his truck right? Hell, I've had like a dozen lifted 4x4s.......but I stay on pavement and rarely need to use 4wd, even in the winter. (Like most of us on here I bet). So who is wrong? I've never priced out a 2wd, but I'm thinking if you looked for a used one that you could sure buy one right. Moreso if you lived in or were shopping in a snow state. I think it looks nice. Why turn parts you don't need,.

Wow. Your going to bag on this guy just because he's rwd? Really? It's funny because I get told the same thing about my truck. Iv seen lifted rwd trucks do what 4wd trucks can't. Hell iv done things and gone through terrain that 4wd trucks couldn't, simply because of ground clearance and my limited slip rear. I don't care what people say about my truck because at the end of the day it's MY truck and I'm sure the OP feels the same. So what if he lifted his truck, and who cares what you think, call you a hater? No, i will call you troll. Get off your high horse and give the man some props just for it turning out so sick. I will bet with the right off road gear equipped, he will make it further then most stock 4wds. Besides how do you know he doesn't have lower gears in the works? Or a winch? Or a rear locker? Or a 6.2 liter engine swap? I will answer the question for you, YOU DON'T KNOW.


To the OP keep shining bro, don't let dirt bags like this tell you other wise.

I'm just making a point here. No need to resort to name calling.

How can it be considered "name calling" if it's the truth? People like you have nothing better to do but talk **** about what other people have.

Does it bother you that he has a sweet lift with nice wheels and tires? I don't know, but it sure seems that way, otherwise you would have congratulated him like the rest of us.

You don't need to make your point, did he ask for people to make a point that his truck isn't 4wd? No he was stoked about his new set up And wanted to be a part of this forum like the rest of us in showing his ride.

Excuse me if I'm annoyed by your post, but it gets old.

At the end of the day it's HIS truck, and HIS money, but he posted it on a public internet forum. In doing so that means people will post their opinions.

I think it's stupid to put mud tires on a 2WD, so you can imagine what i think of a lift that big...

To put 8.5" of lift on a 2WD, with a N/A V6? What a waste of money. His money, but that's my opinion.

With that said, it's just as bad to rag on someone for posting their opinion, as to rag on someone for what they did to their truck/

Listen, Snowhite, I did compliment the OP. I said "it looks cool" which it does. It "turned out so sick" as you so eloquently put it. Seriously though, he couldn't have picked a worse truck to start out with: a 2WD 3.7L V6

If someone puts their truck out in a public forum they had better be prepared for feedback be it good or bad.
