What should I do to my truck?
I bought my 02 edge supercab back in February and I love the thing to death. It's in perfect condition aside from a couple scratches I out in it off roading the other day (still mad about it). Everything is bone stock so I can't decide where to start. It's 2wd but I do some mild off roading now and again. It's my daily driver but I take it hunting and on some 2 tracks out in the desert, and I haven't got it stuck yet. It's got 5 speed manual 4.0 sohc, 3.55 gears, open dif, 8.8 axle. What should I do? Preferably cheapish/ easy stuff at first. No prerunner stuff. I just want to make her a little cooler haha

i would get a limited slip rear, and change ALL fluids etc.... that adds up quick and full tune up.

Re: What should I do to my truck?
i think you only read need the e-lockers or air lockers if you go off-road alot. If the truck is your daily driver with a few off road trips here n there a limited slip would work fine. i have limited slips and they work fine for the few moderate off-road trips i do. A nice (relativley) cheap and easy mod would be a 3in body lift n some larger tires.

Well I don't do a lot of off roading but when I do, I could really use some help. I live in southern utah so I'm driving on gnarly rocky super steep roads 8 to 10 thousand feet up in elevation.
