vegansurfer Report post Posted October 26, 2017 Anybody into off-roading here? I own a 2012 Jeep Wrangler Sahara. I would like to make it off-road worthy. I have started with purchasing a set of nerf bars and mud tires for it. My next plan is to add body armors to it. Is Poison Spyder a highly recommended brand? Any suggestions?

K5HEP Report post Posted October 26, 2017 I know very little about a Jeep, but I do own a Samurai. It will go places that most Jeeps only dream of... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CowboyBob Report post Posted November 11, 2017 You should try googling ,Jeep off-road forums ,there's a lot of them where you can find what you need to know. Hope you keep the greasey side down!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
battlemunky Report post Posted November 11, 2017 You can also google local Jeep clubs in your area and you'll quickly find that many Jeepers are super helpful and you can have help spending your money. I had a 2010 JKU Rubi. It is the car love of my life. Everything about it was awesome except the fuel economy. 3.5" AEV lift and 32" tires, a few other mods too. Just Empty Every Pocket!

480volt Report post Posted November 11, 2017 Form follows function. I’d put money towards stuff that actually does something, such as limited slip/lockers, increased suspension travel, etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
battlemunky Report post Posted November 11, 2017 +1000 on the lockers, even if its just the rear to begin with. A locking diff makes a Jeep damn near unstoppable, two definitely does. Its almost like cheating. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bayou Bengal Report post Posted November 14, 2017 I’d be weary of nerf bars and think about maybe selling those for some sliders. Nerf bars get bent up so easy. Lockers would definitely be my next get, though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
480volt Report post Posted November 14, 2017 No oven rack grille guards. No 20” wheels with allen head screws all around trying to look like beadlocks. No snorkle kits good for 72” of water, cause frankly once the tops of the tires are under, you probably have bigger problems to worry about. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just to kind of jump on with this, if you’re gonna do ANY type of wheelin’, I’d invest in a good tool kit. Good jack, some wrenches, extra oil and lubricants, and some beer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
veedub3 Report post Posted November 15, 2017 I go off roading but not a jeep - in a Land Rover. Check out the off roading forum called Expedition Portal., they have a section on Jeeps and that is all those guys and gals talk about so you will find tons of great information.

Orangeleather Report post Posted December 7, 2017 Another +1 for expedition portal. Very useful global forum. I hope to become part of the overland community once I find my ideal LR Discovery 4 (commercial). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
