just keep it outta 90+ gusts especially if lifted, may not like the result

I thought I was going off a mountain due to ~60 gust

the jeep is a very resilient vehicle and does quite well in navigating falling trees and branches and things as well as standing water as long as you keep your wits about you and are smart about it

raise your axle breather tubes, get some good wipers and have at it

and better tires.

well.. yeah.. the stock goodyears don't do well on any surface

however, i wouldn't go with a true M/T

I'd focus more of a middle ground, with excellent wet road traction

many of the chaser vehicles use Dunlop Rover M/T (max traction not mud terrain)
it's an excellent tire on a wide variety of surfaces and circumstances and it's got tough sidewalls
