Bubba, join a 4x4 club in your area, it'll do a number of things, first is finding some great friends to 4x4 with
most have a driver awareness course to learn safe offroad driving and recoveries, and it may rid you of any
bad habits you may have. it did with me. No one can just jump in a 4x4 and know everything, no one.{Though some claim too]
you can drive up the same hill 16-18 times in one year and each time will produce different challenges.
Anything you learn is then passed on, Its all about safety, going easy on the tracks and making it home

your diff centre is a bigger diameter than his, so with 31s it will be a little lower.
I also think the Patrol has a significantly wider track than the Prada, that will make a big difference.
I never venture off road with more than 20lbs in my tread - except high speed gravel.
also, as they said, pick the right track...
