Default 4x4 Camaro......

Im sure it's possable has anyone ever tried this? Just a thought I've been thinking since I got stuck in mud days ago - though I some how got out of the mud 30 seconds later.

It's been done but it's kinda sick.I could think of quite a few other cars that would deserve that horrible fate. Not flaming you , but it's just wrong IMO.

Im not pondering doing this to my car just curious if it has been done and now I know, yes it has been done. Where can I see pictures, curious how a 4x4 Camaro looks like? Im looking into getting a 4x4 blazer for next rain season, my Camaro has seen too much mud this rain season.

I've seen several pics of it done before. You should be able to search google for 4x4 camaro or hick/hillbilly camaro to find the pics.

I saw a brown 4x4 69 camaro in Panama City, Florida somewhere on the side of the road. I think it was more of non-functing advertisement for a business.

What about using the Trailblazer oil pan, transmission and T-case? It would bolt up to a LS1. With plenty of hacking it could fit in a 4th gen.

now thats what im talking about! make up some kind of k-frame to hold a differential, of course work out the front cv joints and spindles/hubs. i think youd have to modify the floor alot to tuck the t-case up out of the way.wrx what?

Just wanted to open this thread up again to post that my experiance with my camaro in the rain and through the mud has been good. Only once -as to date- did I get stuck in mud then got out of the mud seconds later. Basicly just wanted to post that our camaro do their job as good as any other in the rain/mud maybe not as good as a truck but good enough, heck I got a performance car and it takes to the rain and mud good. Also since rain season ain't over yet, my camaro will still see more rain and lots more mud since where I work their is lots of mud when it rains and lots of puddles when it rains for long periods at a time.
