Yup. Keep the doors from opening and closing with too much force, AT LEAST 4 for the hood, to keep it stabilized at low-rollin-speeds, gas cap, ashtray, tailgate, ESPECIALLY tailgate. Those 13 year olds REALLY cry when they fall outta the back of the Chukee Cheese lot-cruzer, even more so when you have a Dana 60/70, 14" lift, and 44" Swampers.

well I still didn't see anyone mention that to have a true offroad vehicle you MUST have neon lights under it too, and don't worry about the kids falling out of the bed cause it should be one big speaker, and what about hydraulics so that you can raise, and lower it (makes it easier for the mall chicks to get in) and you can make it hope like a stupid bunny rabbit.
Now personally I think Pro had a decent start with the A460 block, and stroker, but atleast have a set of A460 heads to go with it (I would suggest C460s or A441s but he did say cheap.)

I think he's daring you to go bigger ivan 
.
But if you cheap mods to help your truck offroad:
1.learn to weld if you don't know how
2.know your truck inside and out and what its capable of.
3.Don't be afraid to buy USED parts
4.To keep it cheap it is going to involve A LOT of WORK, as it can't be kept cheap if you have to get everything done by someone else.
5.Lastly (as someone in this thread or another said) don't let WANT get in the way of NEED., because offroad a bigger motor, or better rubber is more important than a loud stereo or killer paint job.

Damn those are cheap tires, thats 30 bucks a tire less than what i paid for the firestone indy 500 radials on the back of my flareside (and they were on sale) i might have to pick up a set so i don't burn off my boggers for street driving.
