Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire 2wd Pickups outnumber 4wd pickups about 4:1 down here.

Not everybody is a fuggin hermit that feels the need to live at the North Pole.

F..it..... north poles south = gay...

Oh yea... dam I need to get my helper springs back on ! Little over a beer can to the ball ..lol, every 3 weeks I go do the same thing ....

Ditto.
What’s the matter, wife won’t let you buy a 4 wd truck because it’s too expensive?

Around here there's a sliver of flat country where people live. Other than that we're talking forestry roads they're pretty good though, they don't build anything steeper than 25%. Hell ya you can get a long ways still in a 2 wd the roads are made out of blasted rock so traction is great albeit rougher than hell. Yup, you can go a long ways in 2 wd, as you tear up the rear tires beat the crap out of your rear end and drive line. Work the hell out of the suspension for the chatter and wheel hop. Or you can pop it in 4 low and idle up.

AFA school busses and delivery trucks getting around in 2 wheel drive in winter, same here. But they're driving on well maintained roads and the plows are going steady in a snow fall. But still it seems about 10 times a year these days the schools call snow days and close and half the rest of the economy follows suit.

Salty, I just drove from hope to Ak, what's with them time zones in the western half of bc,hoser land ...

It most certainly is when you lock the power divider.

Chevy didn't offer a 4X4 truck until 1960...So how did everyone get by previously, without them?..I do realize people like yourself need them for work as well as loggers to get to the job site,but not everyone has to have a 4X4....I know it's the Kool Factor but you can hunt /fish /camp or just drive around in the hills without having to have a 4X4....

I see more 4X4 rigs in the ditch than any 2WD or AWD..Why,because everyone thinks a 4X4 is unstoppable and unwreckable..lol

Yeah its a little weird there's two time zones depending on where you are in BC. They used the crest of the Rocky mountains as the boundary so even though you're driving pretty much straight north as you cross the Pine Pass north of Prince George you're through the Rockys and leave the Pacific time zone and you're in Mountain time zone. There's a bit of it in the very south east of BC too. It don't bother me much I don't go out east much. lol

Crap and I thought it was to save the young guys the long walk back to get the tractor to pull that 2wd out 🤷🏻‍♂️

Randy, only thing more lame than a 2 wheel drive pickup is a 2WD tractor!

It was nothing to be 'snowed in' for several days when I was a kid in the 60s. Hell it'd only been 50 years since there were any roads. Everything shuts down for a few days.. meh, no biggy. Society has changed business wants zero down time and the consumer expects what they want when they want it today. Everyone wanting to have a 4x4 so they can go pretty much anywhere anytime is only a small symptom. And, theres a lot of guys that do need to go anywhere anytime to make their living. And you don't need to ride in a back breaking gear jammer like in the 60s, you can't tell the difference in the ride between a 2x or a 4x today.

And you know what the funny part is,most 4X4 labled vehicles are really only 2WD..One in the rear and one in the front with power to them unless you have limited slip/lockers or something like the Tru trac..Take a 2WD dually truck with lockers in the rear,that puppy is a 4WD truck with power to all four wheels in the rear...

The stupid is strong in this thread...... how about low range? 2wd doesn't have low range.... 2wd is useless.

throw a 500 lb of concrete block over the axle makes all the difference in a 2wd. course gas mileage goes to schit

Yep Sam to each their own



Some guys got no use for women 🤷🏻‍♂️

They got the same hand they been using since twelve
