Go look at the Moab pics I just posted in the Pictures forum, or any picture on Xterra Journal. Those are "most off-road trails", and a 2WD will never be able to drive them.


Not to stir up more shit because you guys know I hate to do that but Ian, does your distain for 2wd x's cloud your opinion? Let's take a look at these un2wheeldrivable pictures you wanted us to see shall we.

What part of the trail in this pic would be impassible by anything other than a Volkswagen Jetta?

Unless a 2WD is somehow taller than the 4wd I don't see this being too much of a problem either.

Ditto for the Jetta comment

It doesn't show how you got there right?

My guess is (based on the other preceding pics) that you drove arround that big rock. Just like a guy in a Subaru Outback would have.

Just to let us lesser 2wd owners know. Are you in 4wd high or 4wd low for this one?

As a matter of fact Ian it looks like a pretty scenic relaxing drive up until you got to seven mile rim . You wanted him to look at THOSE pictures as evidence that a 2wd can't go anywhere that a 4WD can? Granted , maybee I'm not seeing the big stuff somewhere but it sure looks to me like he could have tagged along in a radio flyer for those 1st 8 or so pictures.

I give you a lot of credit for knowing your truck and taking the X places that noone else has and taking some great pictures of it in the process. But the limitations of the 2wd aren't as significant as you make them out to be and there are a lot of people , me included that still find plenty of places to take it and have fun.
