Anything is possable. It sounds like you have a good plan. A 4x2 is not a bad truck. You have a good drive train that should get you thru just about anything, short of being in mud up to your neck. Just make it yours, do to it what you want to do. But you have to post pictures, we love pictures

"oh crap i didnt think of that!!!" - Everyone does that because you are never really "DONE" with your truck, always "in between modifications"

What ChiefM said. You will NEVER be done with this so do what you want, change what you want when you want too and enjoy it.

You want tough?

Try authentic camouflage paint (used a DoD manual for reference), a gun rack, and deer antlers mounted on the pushbar or light bar. I've got a an 8-pointer ready to go... it was a roadkill. You shouldda seen them peoples faces when I pulled over, whipped out a hacksaw, and started harvesting the antlers.
