i would strongly suggest you sell your baby and buy a Heavy Duty Land Cruiser.

here is why i say this:
you are asking a light duty to do a work-horse function.
you need a bus for all the kids
you need a truck to do the hauling
you have a vehicle right now that gets poor fuel economy, poor performance and has a record of blowing expensive heads.
That auto tranny needs a extreme duty valve body and aux cooler installed RIGHT AWAY. the auto SUCKS power out of the engine and overheats easily when working hard at slow speeds.

if you were using it as a putter around town and a light drive to the acreage then it MIGHT last you a while.

go buy exactly what you need, and this is not it.

but if the above advice is not acceptable then install the following ASAP:
Pyrometer
aftermarket water temp
(forget the boost gauge, not required)
tranny valve body kit
aux tranny cooler
get the rad recored to 4 cores
install a turbo and 2.5" FREE FLOWING exhaust

and finally with the weight you want to carry a Dobbinson aftermarket spring kit.

these are just suggestions

OR go buy a 1HZ/H55F and a beat up HD 7* front clip and install.

shit all flows down hill and pools around your feet. The object is to
keep shovelling it away. If the shit is gaining you better figure out
how to shovel faster :-) Dave Stedman 03/20/09
