All valid points! Next to obvious technical upgrades - see e.g. Streetable CMP truck - one needs to adjust driving habits and style.

Personally I find a Jeep too small to drive onto the main (high)ways, a 3/4-ton truck has much more presence on the road, even if driving slower than most traffic. Having said that, I recall a GMC DUKW was involved in an accident in the UK many years ago. A large car driving at speed hit it from behind, flipping over the DUKW because of its undercut hull shape, and people got killed...
