Hi everyone! I have been browsing this site enough in recent times that I decided to become a member. I have already gotten plenty of ideas from this site for things I have done to my TB and also some things I would like to do. I have to say this website has a wealth of knowledge on suspension and lift components that is second to none for our platforms. I have some mild lift/level plans in the near future. I do enjoy some trail riding but nothing very extreme because let's be realistic, I have a non G80 2wd EXT. Can't get much worse for off road. Anyways I hope y'all don't spend to much of my money

Welcome
Don't sell your 2wd short, lock it up, put on some armor and add a winch. You'll do just fine.

Thanks everyone for the welcoming! I'm between Houston and Galveston TX. Around here there is not much in the way of offroading areas as far as I know

Welcome! You have a better rear axle than most of us. Screw a G80 you can get a real locker! You will be surprised what a locker will do.

I will say one trick that has come in handy. Since the parking brake is on the left side, if the left wheel is the one spinning you can pull the hand brake enough to put the power to the right tire with the traction. Essentially a one side poor mans locker

Um, no. You have a bad right rear ebrake. Seriously, you should get that fixed. Should be symmetrical.AV8ER wrote:... Since the parking brake is on the left side...
