So I picked up a 2000 2WD Std Cab 4cyl (90k mi) as a work truck and to do the usual dirt road fishing / camping.
The previous owner did put on some chrome wheels that allow a slightly taller wider tire and the tires are mud+snow tread.
I have not looked at the shocks - but this thing rides like truck - I mean speed bumps are hell. My '99 F150 was a freakin' Cadillac compared to this ride.
But more to the point on wet roads this thing feels squirrley in any corner -- I pushed it once and the rear broke loose with little warning. Again the F150 was a cruiser as well and was at least solid in the corners.
Any pointers on any of this ?
I'm thinking a decent all season radial might offer more grip than the mud/snows
Don't know what to do about the shocks.
