Thats awesome bro. I love them flaresides. Thats a 4x4 right?

 

[Skandocious]

So wait... You lifted it? I don't see any hub lockouts so I don't assume you converted it to 4wd...

Unless its shift on the (crap) fly....

no chris is right actually...there are no hubs!.......please dont tell me you lifted a 2wd truck...PLEASE!!! it doesnt matter if its push button 4x4 or shift 4x4 there should be hubs at the wheels whether they are locking or not on these trucks

 

[Skandocious]

Unless its shift on the (crap) fly....

Conner even shift on the fly has hub lockouts. Shift-on-the-fly = electronic transfer case; has nothing to do with the hubs.

I have shift on the fly and I have manual hubs... And even if they were auto hubs, you can still see them sticking through the center of the wheel... Same size and dimensions of a manual lockout, they just don't have switches on the ends.

Looks good dude! Why the switch from a street truck to a off roader? Nothing wrong with lifting a 2wd truck. Looks killer!

Yeah, you are right...

Maybe he plans a 4x4 swap...?

I think a 2wd lifted is kinda lame, I liked it better lower, I love flareside street trucks. U need to get some man tires tho.

 

[Skandocious]

Well pre-runners have their place... But in Junior's case I liked his truck a lot better as a street truck. That flareside is damn sexy when it's ridin' low.

I just love flaresides either way. It looks bitchin' either way IMHO.

Nah it's 2wd...nothin better than a "lame" lifted 2wd that still pulls better than alotta 4wds around here.....btw playin in sand is funner n chit...and yea i know I need some man tires but I got this full set for 100 bucks so I'm not complainin....I'll be switchin rims here in a lil while too to those aluminum modulars that cam factory on some f-150's...it'll narrow my tires up a lil bit and gimme a lil more height.May be 2wd but she pulls reeeeal good....I like havin it that way, then ya know u gotta scream through somethin to make it.....not go oh well i got 4wd yu huck yu huck.

 

[Skandocious]

Junior I gotta ask... If you're done with the street truck thing... Why not just sell it and buy a 4wd? I know you're talkin' about how 2wd is fun but cmon-- you gotta want a 4wd if you're gonna be wheeling.

I kinda like them tires you have on there, not aggressive for off the road but they remind me of old bias plys... I think they are kinda cool.

You thought about doing a swap?

 

[flareside_thunder]

yea I actually did think about doing a swap...at one point I had the mind to throw a 4wd zf behind it with a d44 straight axle under it....I thought it'd be different especially for around here...alotta guys buy 2wd trucks just to convert them to 4wd and I didn't wanna be the "norm" these stampedes are aggressive enough...they pulled through where my buddy with swampers had to lock it in.....

You truck just looks awesome with that stance... I keep staring at it, lol.

Its almost kind of original.

 

[Skandocious]

Junior what kind of lift are you running?

 

[flareside_thunder]

yea I was happy I did it...reminded me of climbing into my ole 89 Bronco...gawd I miss that truck......and alotta the guys that had the same reaction of ya'll "Why are you lifting a 2wd??" have said the same thing....she looks reeeeeal good now.Best part...she'll still smoke a hemi.

 

[flareside_thunder]

4 inch superlift with warn extended shocks and a long arm kit.....
me n a buddy bought an 88 f-150 shortbed 4wd no motor we split the cost...i took the 4 core radiator (brand new) and the lift and let him have the rest of the truck.....we pulled the motor tranny and case outta his cursed(I'm serious ) 89 and threw it all in there...truck runs like a top and will walk away from mine...damn 5 speeds.

 

[Mr. Stroker]

Ive seen 2wd Trucks go through stuff that would make your jaw drop and say "How the hell?"
