My Honda Civic could do these things. Sadly, I've done harder offroading in that Civic than that truck, which was made for it, will ever see.

i'd keep that truck the way it is...well, maybe put some narrower rims on it. no reason to take a 19 year old truck that's nearly perfect and beat on it. that's what the $600 rusted out '82 is for

The truck will arrive on Wed. or Thurs. I will make my decision about taking off the mods after I get it and drive it for a while (you guys are influencing me again!). I am in no rush to do anything except get a cover for it and a sunshade for the windshield. The AZ sun keeps the rust away but obviously can bake the crap out of an interior.
