go the rocky i have both and have almost finished building the desiel one into a trials truck.
the feroza (F300) 1.6L goes well offroad just could do with a little more power and difflocks ( cant get them) i run a set of 31's offroad and have no troubles goin most places best bit is the lowest point is the rear diff, so you can get through some realtively deep ruts with a little right foot.
have a look at this link here to see how mine goes.

This was my previous truck ...love the new barwork plenty of power, the gearing and diff ratio's hold it back a lot, a good mod would be to put under 4.3 - 4.8 hilux/prado diffs and maybe lower gearing. Quite a solid wee truck. Max tyre size 31" without serious mods.
