I have seen a couple mention 2wd samurai's. Googled and could not really find much.
Were they 2wd from factory?

To make the owners of larger 4x4s feel better as its the only sierra they can keep up with offroad......

Weight tax? Nsw's regos go up the heavier the car is..

Usa will be similar

So Barbie can drive to tennis with the girls with the top down, or take Ken for a picnic at the beach. No need EVER for 4wd, so why pay for the extra mechanicals?

To annoy people with the size of the car, and so they have more room for driving lights to be on 24/7.

People buy cars for a purpose. But its slowly turning into wank factor. Like lowrange in a subaru outback... I prefer my extra cupholder. And i have already been offroad in it.. :twisted:

YES! Most do anyway. Mine does not, but still awd (checked the rear diff) and extra cupholder.

Feels like normal gears (driven Older 00 version)...And your not going to do rock climbing in them..

Don't knock a Subi, my Forester has "low range", and you can shift from low to high on the fly, great in peak hour tracffic.

I have a 2wd suzuki, but it has the option of being a 4wd by engaging the hubs and moving the transfer lever.

If you find one let us know, the only 4wd shop we could find was a small ARB one which had prices similar to ours :roll:

Lots of tyre shops though.
