Got stuck tonight:(
Yeah I know...it happens.
Anyway, went down a trail and basically I bottomed out on every tree I ran over so I decided instead of backing up (couldn't reverse) to go down a pretty steep embankment and get back on the road. I decided to chance it
I went front first and I could barely fit between some trees. I needed to turn left but ended up hitting a stump. Tried to reverse and you know how that goes with a 2wd in reverse uphill. Needless to say I dug for a couple hours and went back and forth for awhile until a couple drunk hooligans came from nowhere in a suburban and helped me push it uphill a little (in reverse) then I had to literally jump most of the stump. And I got out. I took some pics but it will be a little before I can get them up.
I'm thinking my senior project will be a 2wd to 4x4 SAS
Or I just need to bring a shovel, come a long, and a chain

2wd to 4wd isn't as easy as it sounds.
...but knock yerself out.
If you're 'silly' enough to take a 2wd truck out without at least another truck to help... well, 'nough said.
personally, I think the come-along, shovel and chain... though more work, will do you more good.
...and it's something you can use on the 4wd too.

4WD on a 2WD truck is almost as easy as an SAS is on a 4by. You just need a few extra parts to make it work right like a 4x4 rear axle, transmission, transfer case, drive shaft etc. I've seen it done.
For the way you use your truck I'd definitely throw a lunchbox locker in the rear. You'll be shocked at how much better it performs and it's cheap.
