Hey guys I want you to give me a list of the most important things for offloading? I have A jar front bumper, I have good tires and a lift, and i plan on get rock sliders and differentials skids, anything else that is really important?

 

Recovery gear. Straps, jack, shovel, etc.

 

lockers are good, skid plate the diffs, trans, Tcase... and most importatn recovery gear. Listen to Crispy, the mans got knowledge.

 

you can get through anything with a winch. just depends on how much line you will have to pull

 

On the rig:
Recovery gear (includes proper tow points)
Armor
Good spare tire
Proper gears
Lockers

In the rig:
Comm gear.
Extra clothes
Tools & Fluids
First-Aid kit
Trash bags
Assorted zip-lock bags.

 

Protection and lockers are very important. Safety gear and recovery gear as well.

 

Get ride of the dana 35 axle they are junk and tend to break easy.

 

#1 priority should be recovery. If you get stuck with no GOOD recovery points, then you're putting lives in danger.

 

Everyone has summed it up already.

1st thing you need is recovery -
some way to get your butt out if you get stuck, dont matter if its on a rock or in the mud or w/e. Wether it be a winch or tow points & straps; you have to be able to get out with or without help.

2nd thing you need is armor -
if you plan on wheeling more than once, you are going to need a way to protect from damage.
Skid plates for the engine, gas tank, transfer case are essential - after that would be body armor and roll cages.. without a skid plate you might break something, even if its doing something small like baby rocks

(I put a very small hole in my gas tank on small rocks, stuff that I could normally drive over - i was coming down a hill, and when i got level - the downward travel in the back, kept going and i hit and next thing you know, I had a hole. and im sitting on 31s and 3" i was able to patch it with some glue / silicone stuff to drive it home but if it would of been bigger, i would of been screwed for sure.)

3rd thing you need is spares -
this would cover spare tire, spare draglink/tie rod, spare drive shaft, tools, flash light, food, gas, water, cash
cause if your driving it there, that means you plan on driving it home and if you break something you arent driving anywhere.

everything after that is a matter of choice.
upgrade tie rod & drag link, upgrade axels, lockers, etc...

oh and if at all possible, in the top 3 things you need, wheeling with a friend should be up there, just in case something happens you have a way home or a way to get out/unstuck or to help turn a wrench.

Happy trailing
