    Stone them to death with taco's loaded with habanero hot sauce. If he survives running through the gauntlet he's in.

    I’d like to add some sort of electrical feature to the gauntlet if that’s possible.

    Do some light wheeling as it now ( fire roads and such ) so you can start to get a feel how hard you want to wheel. That will determine needs for armor, type of recovery gear, tires, and eventually suspension.

    I need to hear this more often. I just got mine and I’m already thinking about all of this.

    You can spend a ton of money on any vehicle modification. Drive to get a feel of what it can do. Be honest about what it is you want to do with it. Example: doesn't make sense to have the Taco air vent for sand if you live in the Midwest. Same with the suspension- when you get to it - if you are not Rock crawling and you still want a more aggressive suspension, match it up to what it is you are driving over.

    I think the point is, decide how you plan to use your truck first. It’s very capable as is. If you want to Offroad it a little harder, or if you are just going for a “look”, there are plenty of ways to spend your money.

    Remember that your off-road will do worse on-road when you "fix it up" and all the money you spend to do it will not add value on resale.
