I second the toyos coming from a second gen owner as well. Theyre good vehicles but if it didnt have the 12 valve, id never own a dodge again. The front end steering components are garbage. Replace the ball joints, tie rod ends, power steering gearbox, etc etc with HD aftermarket components(dodgeoffroad.com) and itll be much closer to bulletproof....after that, all new suspension, torque converter. Also, if it is an auto, be weary of the dana 70 rear end. It is prone to failure if you mod up the engine much. Other than that and the body/plastic parts(cup holder will go first, aaarrgghhh!) It is a great truck. I love mine, despite all of the above it is quite capable offroad, gets great fuel economy, looks damn good(not like those gawd awful new ones that have massive front grilles), good power, etc.... enjoy!
