She's a beaut.
Although a 'Mog is a better Merc for offroading //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

exactly. i want about a 81-85 chevy to thrash. about 10" or lift 40" to 44" tires, cut the wheel wheels/fenders, straight axle of course, 454, 12 bolt, everything a true truck should have. mine will never see the mud. not the chevy anyway. maybe if it serves a purpose, point a to point b in moderate stuff, but not intentionally. definitly the snow though.

i think i am going to put the iroks on my truck. my chevy that i have right now. for now i have the bfg muds. i think in about 6 or 7 years i will be ready for the mud. just cant do that to a brand new truck. it has the right stuff on it to do that, just built for the street though with no intentions of the mud.

If you're driving on the snow, a high chassis lift is shooting yourself in the foot. Better to have a moderate lift (2"-3") and keep the CG low...
You don't need an extremely high lift...I'd rather put my money in the drivetrain than an extremely high suspension. See how high a Unimog or Pinzgauer is, and tell me that you really need that much ground clearance on the trail. Unless it's a small-dick-compensation thing.

yea, but its all i have. i had a bronco with a 10" lift and 40"s. my dads old burban with a 3" lift and 32"s ran circles around it in the snow. also with no weight in the back of it, it is kinda light in the rear and likes to oversteer quite a bit. bags of cement are good for that i found. the point i was making was that is far as i am willing to go as far as making a mess out of my truck.
my brother has a vac. house in the snow. between my brother, dad, and myself we have had over 20 lifted trucks/suv's. i knew what i was getting into when i lifted it as far as the snow driving goes.
nice truck

Nice looking truck you got there, I don't mind large rims until they start trying to put 26 and 28 inch wheels on everything.
