why would parish want to switch to a 2wd when he has much success with a 4wd. plus having 4wd makes for better street video's.

First of all parish, absolutely love that truck (well, just like everyone else)...I think that vid of your old truck vs. the white mustang is about the funniest thing I've ever seen on the Internet.

Anyway, just curious here, but do you have any plans on putting an AWD transfer case in that thing? I figured you would've looked into it, and was wondering if those things can hold up to that kind of torque. I've seen several Lingenfelter trucks that run them that are making similar numbers though.

(my apologies for continuing to beat on this ancient thread )
