(great tires). bushwacker fender cut outs and piaa lights. i avg 18 mpg so far. i pulls my toy hauler like if it was a feather!!!!! there is so much to learn about this beast. hopefully this forum will be helpful.

Thumbs up awesome off road.

one thing is that this machine pulls like a monster. the other is it's off road capabilities. i wish it had a locking front and rear differential, (maybe soon), otherwise it does awesome, specially when i air down to 15 lbs. the low gear in the trans and the transfer case are nasty!!!!!!!! i crawled down a quarter mile of the roughest terrain i've ever encountered in my off roading lifetime and the beast just grabbed the earth by the *****!!!!!!!!!!!! diesel, low gears, air downed tires, you are good to go. (can't wait for my lockers!).
