for this?

It depends on the needs of the responders, but for me, I wouldn't. I don't need a "monster truck"

kasi.

while i'm a big fan of 4wd machines in general, i like my 4wds plain, and bone stock.

mud tyres and rock crawler setups like that above do not, in general, make for good straight line driving. those mud tyres will not last as long cheapo taiwan tyres if you use them for dd.

Here's some background...

I was given the opportunity to buy this show truck. It's a 1997 Toyota LN106 with only 40 k original kms in it. All the set up are original bolt-ons and US made. If I get this, I plan to make the tires smaller to 35" from the 39 inchers and remove the body lift of 4". This way, it would make climbing the pick up much easier. As you know, this is the "last of the Mohicans" when it comes to solid axle front pick ups (way tougher for off-road than IFS, but poorer handling for street). This is also the LN106 which many off-roaders give high respects to.

The thing is, I seldom use my Strada now. I'm really considering getting this rig as a weekend toy coz I want to try some serious off-roading. I just can't do this to my Strada. Masyado kasing pogi.

I just want to get your opinions....

Thanks, mga brods.

I think you have answered your query yourself. Since you need it then why not?

I supposed the Strada is not your only vehicle so you can toy around. Is it a worthy swap? Let us put it this way, its not everyone's cup of tea. But if you are happy with it, then why not again. Happiness and satisfaction are priceless.

By the way, paalam din kay mrs...things bought are still conjugal.

Good luck.

sagot ko BIG NO! bago estrada mo, e ano kung respected yang pick up na ipapalit mo...dude consult kapa sa iba...i don't know about off roading but definitely hindi ako agree..hingi ka second opinion sa mga ordinaryong motorista...

kase kung off road enthusiast tatanungin mo siempre agree sila para makasama ka nila sa pag ooff road, etc..
