    It should be fine stock unless you're going to be hitting some seriously deep snow. I took my 4banger 86 4Runner up into the mountains all the time. If you struggle in mountain passes with power, just make sure to be courteous and move over to the right lane.

    ALL OF THEM!...Then some more.
    Don't ride your brakes. As much as you want too. Do NOT RIDE YOUR BRAKES. yes..going down hills makes you want too. Dont. Or you won't have brakes before long.

    The trick is to brake hard late before the corner. Get on the brakes..then get the hell off. Use your tranny to engine brake as well.

    As for mods. No idea. If your offroading..sky's the limit. Other wise. Good maintenance.
