Modifying a 4WD can be a fun and rewarding experience for off-road enthusiasts. However, as a beginner, it can be overwhelming to figure out where to start. Here are some tips on modifying a 4WD and what modifications to start with

Before getting into more advanced modifications, make sure your 4WD is in good condition. This means performing regular maintenance such as oil changes, tire rotations, and checking fluid levels. It is also important to make sure your suspension, brakes and steering systems are in good working order

Adding a lift kit to your vehicle will increase ground clearance and allow you to fit larger tires. However, it can also affect your vehicle's ride quality and stability, Start with a small lift kit and work your way up as you become more experienced with off-road driving

3. Tires: 

Larger tires offer better ground clearance, improved traction and better grip on rough terrain. Look for off-road specific tires that are designed for the type of terrain you plan to drive on,

4. Winch: 

A winch can be a lifesaver if you get stuck in mud or sand. It can also be useful for recovering other vehicles that may get stuck

5. Lighting: 

Upgrading your lighting system can improve visibility on the trails. Install additional fog lights or LED bars for increased lighting

6. Skid plates: 

Skid plates protect the underbody of your vehicle from rocks, debris and other hazards that may be encountered off-road

7. Recovery gear: 

Always carry recovery gear such as tow ropes, snatch straps, and shackles in case you or someone else gets stuck

Lockers provide improved traction and stability when driving off-road. Installing lockers will help you to get more traction and maximize your 4WD's off-road capabilities.

Remember, when modifying your 4WD it's important to do your research and seek advice from experienced off-road enthusiasts. Safety is also a top priority, so always make sure to have necessary safety equipment and take proper precautions while off-roading
