Default OFF ROAD

I was wondering what would be some parts that would make my truck look like an offroader (lights, parts, and etc. besides tires and wheels)... any opinions are welcome

Mud is cheaper and it proves you were offroad.

Mud is cheaper.... but as heavy as our the truck is, i would lift it and throw some big meaty tires under it. Took mine off road once, (im no retard when it comes to mud, grew up on a farm, i was muddy more than i wasnt) Got stuck clear up to the frame. 4 hours and a bumper later i got out. Took 50 yards of tow strap and a come along. BOTTEM LINE. dont go out with stock height and tires and expect to make it anywhere. My 2500HD is much heavyer than my 1500.

lifts are very hard on the front end as well as larger tires and wheels, dont expect the front end to last too long

for the amount that I offroad stock height works well, I never take a road that I know I wont make it down
