Essential Mods Prior to First Offroad

It is man… Unlimited places to explore.

But holy do we pay for it.

 

I thought so.

 

x2. A hot girlfriend is what you need lol. You don’t need any of those going camping

 

If just gravel roads ... I would think you just need to prepare for flat tires. Practice using the jack, getting the spare out. If you want to one-up that game, get an air compressor and a tire-plug kit to self-service if you must.

Aside from that ... pick your camping gear and maybe a stretch cargo net to hold it all in the bed.

People with rigged-out modded-out trucks have most of the products needed to save you from sand and shallow ditches.

 

Huge, thanks everybody. I’ll start tearin it up then

 

Those are super sick shots, beyond jealous

 

Meet Karl. He had nice body panels once. Then a tree stump buried under sand tore at the door panel and under the door while turning around. If I had had sliders at the time there would have been 0% damage done.
Plus sliders make great step up bars for those that are vertically challenged. And they protect the doors when in malls and someone throws a door open next to you.
I don’t even think you have to wheel hard to justify them. If you ever have any plans to get into any rocks or trails I highly recommend them.

 

Identical to everything I’ve read, think ya might’ve convinced me to scoop em first

 

You won’t regret it. There are way more flashy mods but this one is essential

 

VIAR makes a great little air compressor that is less than $100 bucks and clamps to your battery terminals. No need to get a fancy compressor and hose kit that fills all 4 tires etc. I've had that same little compressor for 5 years and it still works great.

A shovel is cheap and useful. As for sliders, I am a big fan if you can swing the $$$. Steps/protection (Im not tall, nor is my lady). I also smashed the rocker on my old Jeep and that sucked, so I am a bit biased.

 

100%

 

Which did you go with?

 

Epic, I’ll look into it. Thanks

 

I mean yes they are great for protection no question about it. I do love mine.

It’s just I’ve camped in my stock truck for years before modifying, no damage except for BC pin striping.

Now I got the whole she bang Lift, 33s, sliders, front bumper, front skid, winch, bed rack and RTT.

 

wisest of words

 

Thank you sir!

Get out there and make some sick shots yourself!

 

Welcome to TW. Don't get caught up in mods because thats what you see on IG/ Social Media

 

Anything ya find to minimize the pin striping? Looked at doing a ceramic coat, but it’s super pricey where I’m at

 

Facts!

 

Sliders for sure. It may not look at cool but it will save you from damage
