You have 3.55 and 265's? Wouldn't that put stress on the drivetrain when off road?

Yep. But, it works reasonably well. I just make sure to get into 4 Lo BEFORE I think I absolutely need it.

Again, this is just twice a year to get to a camp site..

Firestone Destination AT's were a good tire for me. I went to Hankook Dynapro AT-3's after that. They were really good. I do mostly highway, occasional dirt road, some snow once or twice a year. Dunlop Radial Rover is another one I have had good luck with. Currrently running Uniroyal Laredo's on my Z71 and I have no complaints.

+1 on the 265/75r16 and have a look at the Dick Ceepek FC2 load range E tire.
