Whats the best way for me to give my POS 2wd nissan a lift.  I would get a toyota 4wd but being dirt poor is making things a bit tough.

My truck is tiny but it works.  That is the most amount of mud that truck as ever had on it. besides with the small crappy tires sliding 50-60 feet sideways is really easy.

marlins will give you just what waggies and hybrids will... they will also give you a dented pocket.....  Ill fab the stuff so youll be covered.... i could get some springs for cheap.  and you got the rears already......   Ill add up the cost....
