    '18 AC 4wd
    2.7l utility package20201010_171724.jpgSo far I have a hitch en route but that's bout it. Are there any free/inexpensive mods for these things?

    The best advice that I can give is to drive it as is. If you find something the truck is lacking or needs improving for how you use it then mod to fix that.

    Sell those predator steps get rid of the wind deflector on the bumper. Get a pro skid plate to make the front end look better . Get a bro grill . Change those minivan tires . And your golden .

    Welcome, and remember to have fun..

    Your truck is your truck, don't let anyone tell you what to do with it.
    I'd recommend you spend some time looking at photos around here, good place to start would be the colour coded threads..
    Save a few that you really like and see what they have in common, check out the build threads, make a wishlist..

    Wheels and tires. Not free or cheap, but you could check craigslist for some takeoffs.

    Save your money for gas. Drive the heck out of it. It is hard to break as is and will nearly go anywhere.

    You might want to figure out what you want the truck to do as a first step.

    Mall crawling (for show), working (utilitarian), Wheeling, Crawling, Beach...........
