Give the truck a lift kit and some 33s and you'll be good to go.

The Honda was based on the GM platform, with their own tweaks. Honda made some engines for GM in the past in trade for the Avalanche concept idea. They just sissified it with a unibody design and based the chassis more upon their own stuff (the minivan). No thanks, not a fan of IRS or unibodies on a truck. Was done a long time ago, proven not to work, and axed within a few years. But I guess every lemming in America will love an engineering flaw if it has a Honda badge on it.

Mitsubishi used to make trucks (remember the Mighty Max?), but this new Raider is just a rebadged Dodge Dakota and is built by Dodge. Mitsubishi is basically bankrupt if this new Eclipse fails, and since Daimler Chrysler owns a controlling share, they're trying to keep Mitsu alive. I could care less if Mitsubishi gets the axe personally.

it doesnt look too bad....but we were about to give up last night. this texas clay/dirt is horrible. just got it stuck in a rut that someone else created when they went through with what looked to be 33"+ tires. my wheels were dangling, the axles were proped up by mud...the tires would spin water (they were covered 3/4 of the way up).

Volvo makes trucks...

Semi Trucks, but still.

AWESOME!!! Getting stuck can be fun. We've had quite a few off road adventures, and every time we go, somebody gets really stuck. One of my buddie's got stuck so bad we had to leave his truck there overnight so we could get a snatch block and shovels.

Anyways, look into getting some BF Goodrich All Terrains if you want a pretty grippy tire that is still good on the street.

hahaha, i just spent the last 3 hours digging my truck out of the mud...i got it soooo stuck. took 5 guys, 3 hours, and a chevy truck to get it out. i'll post some pics of the after math. i got it on video too, but its pretty dark, and i dont have anywhere to host it. i need to invest in some bigger tires.
