More economical too, saw farmers with 2wd trucks do that all the time back in the day. If you want, use the money you would have spent buying the other 2 Mud Terrains for your front end and spend it on 2 spare wheels to mount the mud terrains on and swap them out for your rear wheels when you decide to go mudding.

Just an idea.
Not too smart if your looking to be able to turn in the mud..had slicks on the font when i first got my 2wd dodge and ended up in a ditch one day from not being able to turn. Got some new tires on the front and never had any problems turning or stopping again.

a 2wd will go everywhere a 4wd will go..........until he flips a switch lol.


best setup for muddin with a 2wd is mud terrains in the back and all terrains in the front. all your front tires are used for is to steer, so you want as little friction as possable. and you want your rears to have as much traction as they can get. i know it sounds crazy but it works.

AJ said we should go offroading sometime, there's a place up near megailia or something that he goes to. To get completely muddy it has to be real sloppy mud, lots of rain. Ergo, Chico and surrounding area sucks for it. Hahaha we'll go real soon. Or soon as it rains...
