Depends soley on the use you want to give it. If I used mine for any real mileage I'd consider 4.89 gears and freewheel hubs, nothing else. The standard Dodge 6 is reliable but unexciting, and you do have the 12 volt version so you dont have any problems there. I got a heater for mine, but didn't fit it as enough heat comes back through the firewall. You would be well advised to do a good job of the roof panel, window boxes, door seals etc, to get it as weathertight as possible. I did fit an original winch on mine (using the demountable PW brackets) but wouldn't rally consider going far from standard spec as it works pretty well. Wouldn't fit taller gears to mine now as I use it to haul a Ben Hur and the low first plus winch comes in handy occasionally. Gordon
