not to be dick but I was speaking real life trail applications not some huge piece of mud truck that has nothing left that is toyota but the body panels. Notice I said in the mud not built for mud........The best rigs take you wherever you want to go not just one place one use. enough web wheeling for me ill shut it now.
So i guess my 2wd is better than your 4wd now because it has ifs, small tires, and slings mud. Who cares how far it can take you. And I see a lot of 22re's pushing 37" tires...but honestly you can think what you want.

Yup. The easiest and cheapest way to get a SAS vehicle, is to buy a truck that is SAS to begin with.

For beginners, I'd recommend NOT building a SAS truck with 37" tires to start off with. You'll become a better driver if you start with something closer to stock, with a locker and some armour.

Build it up as you need.
