So I drove through some water...

[special-K]

I feel that most people would be just fine without it. In my area I was ahead of the curve and now that the idea of the benefits of 4wd have been absorbed by the masses my very nature pushes me away from what "they" do. 4WDs are in my blood, so I'll always have at least one. I just can't live without one . And I do plan to live out my years in the mountains in a rustic lifestyle, more so than I do now. But I don't do new construction on muddy jobsites anymore and feel I'd like to be the guy with a 2wd work truck now. I've had quite a few 2wd 67-72s and a few squarebodies, too. Both for work and play. When counties started cracking down on getting mud on the streets for sediment control concerns, I set up a '78 C/30 Dually for work and stayed on the street. Plus I got more into home improvement. Then I built a '70 C/30 DRW. I worked out of a '71 C/20 for a while, too. I'd love to have another 71/72 C/20 set-up for work to show the boys the other side of the coin they never looked at.

I'm driving a 2wd Sonoma presently and did some work for my sister who lives up a steep grade on a mountain. They both use 4wd daily to get up and didn't think I'd be able to get up to their place. I managed just fine. It just takes some driving skill. I've always used 2wd in my 4wds and they've lived there since '96. Been up that hill kore times than I can count. but many people can't get up that hill to the rental cabins. City folk, ya know
