better lift that beast and put some mud tires on it. Especially since it already has a roll bar on it.

its only a 4.2 v6 atleast gas is affordable tho


also i want to do a 4 inch lift and 35 inch tires... but im paying 200 a month in insurance and payments... so it may be a while.

eh the 4.2 aint soo bad power wise and its decent on fuel. I just like the 4.6 better for reliability reasons and the extra torque while still managing near 20mpg. The 4.2 began life as a 3.8L V6 and was bored and stroked too 4.2L.

None the less at one of my previouse jobs our service trucks were powered by the little 4.2 V6s and they held up pretty good even with our STEADY ABUSE. THey also had one truck with the old 300 I6 witch is STILL my favorite GAS engine ever put in a pick up truck. That thing just would NOT DIE.
