Yes
I do take it off road like in the sand dunes in silver lake, Michigan and also some trails but I dont need to be going 100+ mph in this rig
I also do drive it in to work from time to time even with todays gas prices

Yeah, I wouldn't go too wild but something in the 2800-3200 range should be enough to have fun in the dunes/trails and still be able to cruise around town.

I would think if this is going to see trail use, you'd want the lowest stall possible, even lower than factory. That will help w/compression braking when going down hill. I also think that will give more slow speed control during rock crawling.
On the other hand if you're going to be doing alot of dune and mud running, I imagaine a higher stall will be better. Just don't forget to cool the hell out of it, and mount the cooler where trail junk won't damage/clog it.

Go big or stay on he porch! LOL.....
Just kiddin, relax... I would suggest something under 3,000 rpm in this application. It is a very rare occasion that a converter would be chosen for the vehicles purpose rather than the powertrain it was going to be living in.
The reason for keeping it under 3k is that offroad you don't want to much energy going to the wheels at slow MPH unless you lean on it. And it would make for a very streetable unit.
