Hi can understand you problem , but any truck you get in the end need mods to run better offroad, This is a major part of offroading the more runs you do the more thing you find could be changed just work at a slow pace that can be afforded a bit at a time. the more fun you will have with it

just add on , Blackwoods paykeys are sell 1kg fire exs for $29 .00 + gst if you need a another unit for your truck

GOODyear wrangler MT/R 's all you need

if the steel is free or near and you have the time, give it a go may have to do mine at so stage [ i run into things]
