Eventually you might consider installing a limited slip rear diff. That combined with good tires will give your 2WD decent off road capability. Not good enough for serious mud crawling or rock hopping , but plenty for casual off road use. A new OEM LSD sells for $250, plus $100 for a master install kit. There are various aftermarket alternatives that are stronger and have more aggressive bias ratios for a bit more money. I recently installed an Eaton TrueTrac and I love the way my truck drives with it. Not an easy beginner project, but definitely doable as you gain some experience and tools.

I have been looking around a bit for lockers and LSD for a little while. My friend recommended a Posi rear and for the kind of off-roading there is to do near me it would do just fine. Not going to worry about that though until I get my wheels and tires.
Here are some pics of this week took the truck off road a little bit.
Here's some pictures of my POS.....got some new wheels (Raceline Shifts 9x17) wrapped with 33"
^^My friends 94 XLT F150 blew up....just helping out on the road
And here's a before pic
Still a piece but it's fun to just mess around in
Also in the time between when I last posted here got the straight pipe to a actual Flowmaster 40 series, pipe out in front of the rear passenger wheel. Turned the sound down a little but got some power back, I'm pretty satisfied.
Also added a Pioneer 10" sub under the back seat, adds a nice bump to the audio. Can't turn it up too much without rattling every single panel in that cab though.
