Unhappy Hooked on 4x4's ?

That sounds serious for sure. The 1st thing I'd do is get a good set (5) of M/T tires. The specifics will depend on the rim size. I prefer a 75 or 85 series (taller tire/more flex) on 8" rims. 60-40 series work best on slammed Hondas. If you intend on SERIOUS off-roading, get a winch and Hi-Lift jack. The "Off Road" Forum has a lot of info.
