I think it is a simple misunderstanding of goals. Anyone can go play in the mud with their vehicle depending on how deep it is. I've done it in an MR2 Spyder. The 1/2 ton axles aren't really an issue and, within reason, so long as you have sufficient meat on the rims getting stuck is unlikely.
A lot of people out west and such confuse the expression mudding with offroading. Offroading elsewhere in the world typically features climbing over things like rocks, tree trunks, etc though mud can be included as well. This is where 1/2 ton axles earn their reputation for leaving people in the woods. A 35" tire that's freewheeling as the vehicle goes over a rock can put a lot of stress on an axle when it hits something solid. Most people stick to 3/4+ ton setups which are fundamentally different from traditional 1/2 ton and lighter axles.

ya 1 ton setups can be had every day around here for builds for 2k. last one i purchased was 700$ it was a f350 with a dana 60 and a dana 70u set of axles that i drove daily for a couple years while building it, also was a diesel.
In Alaska here i dont think you realize what kind of offroading we do. i think our onroading is like your offroading in the lower 48.
not meaning to offend anyone.
Besides as my grandpa always said, "theres a ass for every seat" guess someone found theirs at 2k. probably a yound dumb kid tho. we all been there.

We definitely do different off-roading down here and it's mostly in mud. In Alaska you'd hardly ever see normal cars and sedans relative to the number of 4 wheel drive cars. It's easy driving around here, so they aren't as plentiful and therefore the value is higher. Someone could probably get a super cheap off-road truck that is built for the Alaskan wilderness, around here, not so much on the cheap.

Jesus Christ, you still own this thing at $1800? Man up, pay the $25 to advertise on the Chevy Truck forum ( http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/ <--ignore the 67-72, it's for all Chevy Trucks), and sell it for $4500. Guys on there would kill for a 66 4x4 stepside, even if it does have a more modern chassis under it. Seriously, $2K should be no problem on there.
