What the heck is a 2WD Prerunner?
In the off-road race community, beefed-up 2WD vehicles were traditionally used to pre-run challenging long-distance courses like the Baja 1000. Pre-running a course gave the race team the intel they needed to successfully navigate their way through the event safely, efficiently and fast. Today, 2WD trucks and buggies (many VW-powered) dominate off-road racing, as the need for four-wheel drive is minimal when agility and momentum are involved.
The name Prerunner really became a household name when Toyota started marketing their Tacoma 2WD Prerunner line of trucks that featured a taller more aggressive stance, knobby tires, German Bilstein shocks, and a rear traction aid such as a limited slip or locking differential.
We have built many off-highway dream vans for lots of folks. Many of these vans started their lives as simple, unassuming, slow and low, two-wheel-drive vehicles, and ended up as rock-crushing, dirt-eating machines. In the spirit of the SYNCRO & 4WD decals found on their four-wheel-drive brethren, we have created PRERUNNER and 2WD decals for your off-highway beast!
Fit note: This decal is sized identical to the original German 4WD decal for the door, but will pretty much anywhere you think it looks best. Go ahead, show your 2WD pride!
