1 Yes I know a jeep guy was was tired of buying $950 sets of mud tires for his jeep every year, so he bought highway tires and put chains on them the one or 2 times a month he would go trail riding.
He claims the chains on highway tires trick work better than any mud tire he tired. Also the highway tires are hundreds of dollars per set cheaper and they are lasting years, not just a year.
2 Make sure the diesel engine's fuel system is WVO friendly.
4 Always go with the extended cab unless this is going to be a second vehicle. They give you a place to seat a second person and still have a place to put your tool boxes.
