The Conversation Pit
This is where EVERYTHING else goes. No subject is too mundane. How's the weather in your area? Did your kid cut his first tooth? Really, what do you think about the President? And don't get me started on Cummins and Duramaxes. Have at it!

If you haven't seen the current pics on my profile page, the FX2 was sort of my inspiration to the exterior mods I have done to my truck; just didn't go far enough and do the grille and wheels.
Given the choice though, I'd go for the GT-500!

yeah that would be my first choice to, but i think it might be just a little bit cheaper to go with the FX2. She was one amazing machine. I really do miss her some times.

FX2's are a sharp truck and would be a nice vehicle in the summertime to have around here. When winter rolls in 4x4 is what's needed where I live.

Yeah you have a point. it was the worse thing to drive in the winter. i did many donuts that i really didnt want to do just thank god i never hit anything. but once you got it on dry blacktop, sit back put it to the floor and hold on because that truck would but you in the back seat.

I'm bucking the trend here in western NY. I could count on one hand the number of 2WD trucks you see in a day, and sometimes week. 4X4's were not prevalent until about the late 70's early 80's, and even then you'd see a balance between 2/4 WD.
I've only had one 4WD previously and never had much of an issue getting where I needed to go, even on the days we got 2 feet or more of snow. Throw a little weight in the bed, install better tires if you need them, and feather the gas when you have to.
