    A few, mainly added skids. I like leaving the suspension alone. I drive forest service dirt roafs in the desert west extremely extremely too fast. Toyota nailed this suspension going 65 across desert terrain. Changing it is dumb unless you have a specific need like crawling or mud.
    I have to say. She performed pretty fucking well. We more or less went from Northem Colorado to Wolf Creek Pass "southern Colorado " on more or less just forest service roads. Yes some highway here or there but 80% is FS.
    I spent 4 nights doing it.

    Not sure how many times I crossed the continental devide. It was many. I brought absolutely minimal gear. I knew i had some crazy climbs in bachelor Gulch and the skyway.

    In 4 low that old 22RE does better crawling then my 3.5... sorry gang
