Go auto for a serious crawler, make it easy on yourself

Definitely will be auto. So don't buy a 2008 ?

Honestly it's cheaper to buy something closer to what you want and make a few mods to get it where you want.

I can atest to that along with other folks who have built out rigs.

No pics. I kinda thought that would be a better idea. Don't want anything super wild but a capable rig to handle the more intense trails

Much better to buy an existing build and make a few changes

Bear this would be a great deal compared to what you would spend getting it to this level.
