I would have to slightly disagree with JMC. It soley depends on what kind of off-roading you want to off-road JMC style, then I agree, don't waste your money and go for good aftermarket upgrades.
If you want to rock crawl, snow, slow forde, all around sane off-road and protect your truck, spring for it.

I guess if I were to ORDER a new truck I might not go with the ORP, but I think most people buy there trucks off the lot. I for one like stock chrome wheels...I'm a purist. Why do you think I keep the original plain jane wheels on my 77. I painted them, and that was as crazy as I got.
