:welcome:

I would agree that Toys are great trucks offroad, I grew up in the Blazer world and would say that they do awesome as well!  In my opinion BigMike is the knowledge king on this board, but you will find many helpful and knowledgeable people here; however, I'm probably not one of them  :hammerhead:

The only general advise that I can pass along from my experience is that 1 locker = 2 limited slips and low gears are more rewarding off-road than lockers.  Having traction without power and/or control is frustrating.  I had 32 inch tires on my 85 with stock 4.10 gears and was happy, my 33 inch tires killed my power so I now have 4.88s.  My Marlin 4.70 gears are the greatest mod to my truck so far, highly recommended!
