2wD and a decent winch is better than 4WD 95% of the time. Less moving parts means less to break. These jap cars are nice as much as I like 5.0's and my 65 ford
my moms 03 honda SIR is way faster, handles better, stops on a dime and is comfy and hauls as much gear as a mini van, it even gets decent mileage.

I am going to try some Briwax, I have always wanted to try renwax but the price and difficulty finding it put me off. Thanks guys.
