If I take my time, my wallet shouldn't be a limiting factor. What I am looking to do is to make something that can go where not many people can, and not because they can't, but because it seems like a really good time to hook up with others and just go up into the mountains on trails that seem impassable.
I was thinking about 33 inch tires, but is this going to leave me wanting bigger tires or will they serve me well for a long time?
Also, what kind of brake upgrades can I make? I'd sure like to replace the rear drum brakes with disc brakes if it's possible.
I've heard the term "duals" before but I don't know what it means. Also, in the same vein as the tires issue, will 4.7 gears do well or should I go with 5.29?
There's a lot to be learned in the driving department for me. I've driven full-size trucks off road before, but not to the extreme that I'd like to and nowhere near what I've seen on the internet and TV.
This is all good advice. Thanks.
Edit: I looked it up. By duals, I assume you mean a dual transfer case arrangement. Is this correct? My guess is that this would give me a much higher gear ratio.
