Thanks caliber1..i have been reading all day..the drivetrain seems pretty straightforward. the 24V electric is new to me.
The axles i am familiar with.

I have noticed there are alot of opinions as far as bobbing the truck or leaving it stock..in my case bobbing the truck
makes more sense for what im doing..i ordered the truck with a detroit locker in the rear,other than that it will be just the basics.
is does come standard with a heater..im not worried about the a/c..

I was hoping to get some feedback from some people who four wheel these trucks..
Should i have some weight added to the rear for better traction?
Or is the truck heavy enough as is? Im sure i can pile up sandbags in the bed if i needed.

CD, I haven't had mine off road enough to give you advice on adding weight. Plus, mine is not bobbed, and has the 11.00 X 20 michelin XLs on it. They pull pretty good. A friend down here has the same tires on his and it amazed me last month in Richloam. Welcome to the addiction, you'll be looking for a trailer next.rofl

Yeah i have a set of the XL's i bought from boyce..i think they are 47''s..I put them on my 87 chevy 2500..they are great offroad.
My deuce will have the same..

Addiction..i havent even got the truck and im already making plans..they told me approx 6-8 weeks before the truck is ready..

I need another addiction to hold me over..lol..
