    I'll be making mine LT, but its gonna be an extremely long time from now. I gotta wait until after basic, AIT, and getting to my first station of duty to do that. and I'm not sure how much i will have to do it yet.

    I would go MT or LT ONLY if you are going to be doing SERIOUS off roading, if your truck is 90% street truck, LT or MT is WASTE of money, unless you are doing it just to be cool bro...

    IMO, mid-travel will be fine.

    x2.

    x3.

    X2. A 4x4 truck will do good across ruts and rock crawling with .

    OP, you are 2WD, if you decide to do more desert trails. Speeds with 60+ on the trail, LT a 2WD truck would be great. I am not familiar with the trails in your area, it is hard to say yes/no to LT your truck. IMO mid-travel would be the route to go.
