SirFer,

Sounds like You are making the right choices up front. My baby sister lives in Florida and her husbands famly are all in Miami. You are in fairly flat land so the tires and winch will do for now. I recommend though before You go up north to college you lift it a little bit. You will find out what real off roading is up there. I have not been into it here in Arkansas because it is flat and we grow rice here. I spent all my life in mud riding in some kind of vehicle. I had an actual WWII jeep when I was in my teens that my grandfather kept around for me to play with. I do not know what it was about those old jeeps and the real Army tires it had on it but, that thing could not be stuck. When we moved down around Hope, AR during the time crops were planted as well as winter we had a 2000 acre cattle ranch and that jeep was used with it's winch to pull cattle out of mud that they would get stuck in walking out into the stock ponds. I'm 51 so it was over a good 35 years ago that I first started driving that rig and we had it till I was 23. I'm just still amazed how you could not get it stuck. The last few years we had it I drove it in the same ruts around the rices fields expecting to get stuck put the skid plate just kept acting like a bulldozer blade and cutting lower. I finally gave up and told that old girl she won and I took good care of her and retired her. It got stolen and I wish I could have gotten my hands on the thief. It was almost like having a faithful old horse stolen. It was a blast to run that rig.

Good Luck.
