I love my very capable little 2wd. I've kept up with 4wds every place we've gone so far and except for the lack of a locker I would never have had to fall off from the pack. I'm in Texas so our idea of trails are probably a bit flatter than the utah kids, or as my Mormon friends call them, Utards
but good throttle control and good tires will solve a lot of problems. If you're ever down Dallas way check out Barnwell Mountain Recreation Area... just don't tell him (jim?) you're 2wd.
