Time for a lift! That thing would change your entire perception with some 33" tires!

lift kit I already lies waiting for its time :-) I would be set closer to the summer.
I'm more concerned about what can be done with the front axle, still an open differential is useless.

There are a few guys with locker front differentials on this forum. Last I knew, nobody can find them for sale anywhere.

I really like it. I agree that a lift and taller tires would make it more capable.

I gave up the idea to change the front differential. Because I do not want to lose the automatic mode. In winter, only in this mode and go.
