Re: Best Off-Road Truck
Im on a $4000 dollar budget so i was wondering how an s-10 or a ford ranger would do with suspesion and tire upgrades under light offroading conditions, mostly trails. I would be looking at v6 mainly and it would be 4wd.

Re: Best Off-Road Truck
Ford Ranger would be real nice. Personally, i'd go with a 2door cherokee.

for 4 grand id get an older 4runner (late 80's with removeable hardtop, friend had an 88, lots of fun) but try to get the v6 or if u can find one that had a 350 swapped in cause those things are extremely gutless.

Re: Best Off-Road Truck
I HATE Chevy, but I have a little S-10 Blazer with a 2.8L, auto and that thing goes anywhere, and through anything where I live. What a mountian goat
I don't think that it has enough power to do serius mudding though. Good thing that I live in the semi-desert |

Re: Best Off-Road Truck
My 4.3L s-10 has yet to leave me stranded, but all I have done is some mud. It has gotten me through mud roads that I thought i was gonna have to walk out...they were BAD. 4lo and up it went over one bad hill leaving 6" ruts.

Re: Best Off-Road Truck
I found the nicest steep solid mud hill last week 1 day after about a years worth of rain here in 1 week.
There was actually water still running down this hill and I thought, like you that I couldn't make it up. But I knew that I could always back down if I had to. Well my little Blazer proved me wrong. With the posi rear end I hardly even spun a tire. Although I don't know how deep the ruts I left were. I live in the mountians in BC Canada, so were not talking mole hills here |

Re: Best Off-Road Truck
I like the Heeps, the really old jeep wagoneers have stock dana 44's. But they look like crap. I was thinking about my next rig, and was pondering the Tahoe, or an old Blazer/Jimmy fullsize, 1960's. But I might go with a Grand Cherokee, and cusomize it with Dana 60 rear, 44 fronts with arb air/detroit lockers. Spring suspension. 350 engine. But the style I want is like the Avalanche, so I would chop the cargo area off to make it a truck bed.

Re: Best Off-Road Truck
Jeep is the best way to go they were one of the originals. If you want the best stock performing offroad rig get a rubicon you dont have to lift it right away to do good on a trail. With a budget like that i would find an older cherokee, dont get a post 80 pre 96 wrangler terrible transmissions. Honestly wouldnt recomend a ranger or s10 unless you wanna get a new one evne then only a ranger. An International scout would be great but hard to find.

Re: Best Off-Road Truck
OK I gat to go with the toyota lightweight awsome traction good size tires standard, great aftermarket, long enough to be stable without having a bad breakover angle.
