A Ford, a 4stroke that's funny. That's a 7.3 truck so I take reliability no matter who makes it. And 4 strokes suck that's why every pro is on one.
To the op, every one knows moab has the best traction in the country. A very built tj,linked,tons, whole shabang. Beadlocked on 40 ltbs he struggled all week and I have vids to prove it. Less then 10psi all the way around. Rock pile up on pritchette canyon, he tried for 20 min and never made it. Tsl in the group walked it. Another ledge on goldbar, never made it. Tsl walked it. Type in rocker knocker on you tube and watch how easy folks make that. He had to beat on it and I think the only reason he made it was because of the spare irok on the front. Here on the east coast, hammered down every trail he tried. The first tire I bought when I started was the 34ltb. Got a slab in a creek bed we go play around on, I never made it holding my 4.3 to the floor. All my buddies with all terrains and mud terrains were laughing at me cause they were driving circles around me. But that's my experience and where I draw my conclusion.
I have the exact opposite of your story with built yotas on 38s and 40s sturggling on rocks where a 33 13.5 15 ltb on a yota walked right up. To each his own but i personally love the LTBs and have also had numerous TSL set before LTBs. What i really want to try is the PB rockers. Oh and as far as dependability how is that ford tranny? Oh and i could get into your 4stro "knowledge" but i'll save that
