Have you ever considered small supercharger or turbo of some sort to help keep those enormous wheels spinning on the freeway? think it requires a tremendous amount of power to keep thos mud terrains rolling at high way speeds?

Thanks Juan, I have thought about it but the engine bay is cramped enough without that, and I prefer NA motors
