Base SAS 2.7 Modifications

[Baldwin69]

Ok. I'm likely posting in the wrong spot. I want to upgrade my Base SAS to be reliable offroad. I have good tires. Mickey Thompson M/T. No lift. I hear about tie rods breaking. I'm not climbing rocks. But I want to be able to go on trails and not worry about anything breaking. What would you guys suggest?

Be easy with the long pedal when the front diff is locked. Party on.

I have been very happy with my Base Non-SAS when off-roading in challenging but not super technical conditions. I am shopping for a transmission skid plate, given the knowledge that the pan is a critical failure point, as posted elsewhere recently.

We have a base Sas too and do light 4 wheeling and dirt roads. It should be fine for that. Any HD 4 wheeling I would upgrade the trans oil pan or put on a skid plate and get the beefed up tire rod ends. Just be gentle with it and with the Sas package should be durable enough.
