there are some here, they use m/t on the rear and a/t or h/t sa front. they use it on their farms and they cannot afford to buy 4x4's or some in the construction business. pag 4x2 and may lsd and the driver is experienced it can go places that 4wd's can go to.

i agree
but even the most experienced driver siguro would say not ALL places.

makes sense na rin, for traction purposes,

minsan kasi when i go to places with light goo, my rig can go thru it with my muds alone.

The a/t tires i had were Goodyear Wranglers and the H/T's are Pirellis. The difference i felt was with the transmission of road imperfections to the car, and road noise wherein i noticed it more with the Goodyears. The Goodyears also complained more on mountain roads but its hard to give a gauge on that as the H/T's i have are wider.

ouch!! ganyan kasi yung pick-up ko eh.

( di kaya ako yung nakita mo? kung blue na 94 ako nga yun! )

i've lifted my 4x2 hilux and fitted it with 31 R15 michelin ltx tires. i don't know about the others but necessity is my reason for doing it.

pero IMO, wag lang sigurong lagyan ng sticker na 4x4 ok na.

Nakita ko na rin yung mga lifted Hi-Lux. IMHO, there is a right way to do it.

Yung nakita ko sinagad ang suspension kaya panget. Halos walang down travel na after.

Tama. Any 4x2 pickup with a proper lift will perform better or at least be a lot more comfy in desert like terrain cuz of the possibility of increasing front wheel travel.

YUng 4x2 ng isa kong kapitbahay, isuzu lift ko kasi gusto niya mukhang 4x4. lifted it just enough to fit 31 inch AT's. mukha ngang 4x4. di masagwa tingnan.
