Stick with your 33" tire and don't go bigger until you learn to wheel those small tires. You might even want to wait on the rear locker and just learn to wheel with an open diff first. Putting armor on your truck is a good idea and could be where you spend your $1,000. There are some good fab shops in the area who could build you some. If you are going to do that yourself then try looking at some Toyota sites and use their designs on your truck. Just be aware that there aren't a ton of trails in Washington for a full size rig. And a lot of the trails that use to be tight and narrow that only a Jeep would fit down have been ruined by people who felt the trail should fit their rig too. So now they are so wide there is no challange anymore and it is like driving a paved road. If you really want to wheel some trail you need something Jeep size or older Toyota pickup size.
Don't take this wrong I am not picking on your truck I am just trying to tell you what is available here in Washington.

Ok thanks guys! I understand your not bashing on my truck, I know that a full size rig is hard to fit most places. I got it to haul my dirt bike to the track an I figured I'd just have some fun with it. I'm moving to SoCal in a few years so I was going to make the truck fr Moab. I was just curious. I'm planning on snatching up a Cherokee, locked in 35's within the next 8-9 months or so a will take that to these local places.
Wildman4x4nut - are these full size trails accessible with 33's? Any videos I could look up? Thanks!
