This thing is just begging for a stand-alone Electric rear axle out of the Highlander Hybrids to make it all wheel drive.
At one point I had 26 1/2 inch tires on a car that was supposed to have 24 inch tires. (2002 Celica) The ground clearance was simply amazing, mainly because you didn't have big differentials hanging down.
If you are actually serious about taking on a trail, you would really want to have a winch or come along to get you out of sticky situations. I would also suggest rolling the fenders so that you can fit some even larger all-terrain tires on it. Your biggest weakness is you're not going to be able to beat on the suspension, you'll need to drive gingerly. Skid plates to protect the Bottom would also go a long way.
If this is just for trolling, and not actually for taking off the road, you need a decal indicating how much ground clearance do you have under the diff. Oh and some aftermarket shock and suspension stickers.
