Show all those jeep guys what real 4X4 is! Has always been a dream of mine to show up with some heavy iron at competition. Preferably with some heavy modifications including a 8v92 with a dry sump. If it flops over you can leave it running and use the PTO winch to right it. Anybody have the same thoughts or some experience?

HE Operator. Surprise?
Ofset rims, you need to make that thing wider for sure. They are good straight up and down by you get a little sideways and it's game over (very narrow and tall). Also might want to look at getting some lower gearing.
