    Depends on the truck. Some ladder-frames are lightweight and can crack or bend under abuse. Other ladder-frame based vehicles have lightweight suspension parts and soft shocks. Our Crosswind is great for "harabas", but if you try to put it through the same off-road regimen that a four-by-four pick-up will swallow with no problems, you'll bust quite a few bushings.

    Those with live-axles front and rear are typically better, though, as you say.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    So mas "heavy duty" nga ang suspension and big tires ang advantages ng high vehicles. Thank guys for confeerming my thoughts!

    Mas beefier suspension and a rigid frame works well in dirt roads. about tires, its relatively the size but the compound and the design of the tread must be also considered. dito kasi sa alfonso may mga dirt/rough roads pa rin. parusa talaga ito sa suspensions lalo na pag naulan. kaya yung bayaw ko ang ginawa dun sa toyota corolla nila na box type yung 4a-ge yung makina, palit ng beefier shocks at spring as well lifting the ride more or less 2 inches, naglagay ng anti sway bar sa front at sa likod para madagdagan yung rigidity ng chassis, new engine mount, we have the same tires (goodyear cargo g26). mukha siyang hilaw na rally car pero it works well. tapos naglagay na rin siya ng roof rack the one with top load just like in some ARB products and a custom made light rack sa harap with 4 halogen fog lights. nainggit tuloy ako. hahaha!
