I used to take my 2wd S-10 off road all the time. It was my first truck and I wasn't the brightest bulb in the box back in my younger days. Had alot of fun and somehow kept my body panels from getting banged up. It's definately more interesting in a 2wd truck, though 4wd is the way to go!

I have a 94 F-150 2/w Drive with a 6 inch superlift and some 31 inch good years, I'll put plenty of weight in the back and do what ever the hell I want with the thing. I've been in sand pits after a rain storm and under high tension wires in the snow, got stuck a few times but thats all part of the lack of practicality. Just stay away from deep mud. You do have the donut spinning advantage to balance that out though. It was my first truck too and I'm a sentimental guy so I'm in the same boat, had it for 8 years and can't get rid of it. Instead I just get my kicks out of what I have and I'm damn proud of the guy.

do you have a limited slip or locker on your truck ? cause right now I have an 07 2wd Ranger Sport and everyone keeps telling me I could keep it, lift it, and throw a locker on it or limited slip and it would zip around the 4x4s any day... any truth to it ? keep in mind Im really not one for the mechanics... just like to play dirty and if something breaks some body betterdxmn wellteach me to fix it for next time...

I have a 1991 f150 5.0 and it is 2wd. i would rather have 4wd but with the 4"lift it did pretty good. I sold my lift though so now it is stock suspension. it can still smoke any chevy or dodge out there.

Default mudding with 2wd need testers

I have an invention that will help people with 2wd. It is the Ground Gripper. Here is a video if you are interested.
. I am trying to get someone to test this out for me and give feed back. Please let me know if you are interested. This works great if you farm or hunt as well. Thanks, Regan

Can you off-road with a 2WD?
Today,
many 2WD models are designed with suspension systems that can handle off-road terrain. Plus, you can customize your 2WD vehicle with lift kits (which provide extra ground clearance) and bigger wheels that give you greater traction off-road.
In general, 2WD vehicles are not as good as 4WD vehicles for off-road. Installing mud tires on a two-wheel-drive truck is less effective than installing them on a four-wheel-drive truck.
