My cousin had one with a 4 cyl and a 5 spd it sucked he decided to put 31x10.50 on it with a slight lift that was the scariest thing I had ever driven on the road. It wanted to roll over on top of itself and had no power at all it wouldn't move out of it's way with bigger tires. Now my truck with bigger tires isn't a powerhouse but it actually moves when you want it to. My suggestion is to tell him to find one with a 4.0L they are pretty powerful and just better. Also it lost oile pressure and we put a high pressure oil pump in it, changed crank bearings, and decided not to get into it anymore and sokd it. THANK GOD
