if you said you wanted rcv's and dynatracs and emf joints just for the hell of it ,who could argue with that. but when you said you wanted them because you might break the stock parts i knew you was out of touch with reality and wasnt mechanically familiar with these trucks

This my daily driver I don’t want to leave it broke in the bush and walking home if you try hard enough you can break it adding more weight bigger tires and a heavy foot stuff breaks and it’s only money I’ll get more

I would rather spend time and money on improvements rather than repairs

your truck looks stock with a topper for carrying groceries in the rain.
im baffled how you think something would break when 22hemi crashes his on rocks and jumps it with factory parts.
good skidplates ,strong crossmembers and diff covers would serve you much better

Check my thread my homemade rock sliders it includes the skids I made you are right it’s a grocery bag for the most part but I want it to be tough when I need it my new job hopefully will allow more time for camping road trips I want to build for bulletproof I am 60 years old I don’t want to walk home I would rather spend money on parts to make my truck tougher than dragging it out of the bush not that I wheel hard but I don’t want to walk
