Moab is one of the best bangs for the $$ - hundreds of trails, great Isuzu owners and NO MODS are required to have fun! Stock VXes kick ***** out there and will amaze you with what they can do. If you are into doing the really hard trails (what the guys do with older, highly modified Zu's), be sure to factor in a LOT more money for the body damage that will inevitably occur. Those mods you mention are just the beginning of a long and expensive road to find the next component that needs to be reinforced or replaced for a bit of trail fun.
