Afternoon Everyone -

I'm getting serious on buying the above. Rig has the 3B engine upgrade with a 5 speed. Currently its has drum brakes and manual steer. Seeking wisdom on upgrading to power steering and disc brakes. Thanks for any advice and suggestions.

Your rig your money your choice IMHO.

I'm a big guy, don't need power steering - I don't rock crawl or wade mud up to the wipers - more stuff to go wrong.
Disks " I don't even run a booster on my drums - big guy with leg power. Disks can be nice in the wet, like fording operations, maybe towing. I'm not ready to pay extra (yet).

Diesel - I don't have the knowledge or stuff to work on one. Yea they get better mileage but the fuel cost more - way harder to start when it twenty below zero. I loved my military multi-fueler deuce and half M35A2 with the 5 speed (waco) transmission
