Mudding Truck Questions?
If i was to convert my 2003 7.3 diesel to a mudding truck what some good things to do, Besides a 8inch lift and some new rooms and tires?
Rims* not Rooms
Growing up in Florida and 4X4ing in areas that if you get stuck and don’t get out in a short period of time you could loose your truck forever. I would suggest to you to have a winch that can be used front and rear. It would connect by way of receiver hitch. This way you are not forced to pull yourself out through what you are already stuck in. Having a receiver hitch on both ends of the truck allows you to use a nap strap that will be centered in the frame and then there’s no chance of snapping your frame out of true. If you snap from one frame rail all the time it will pull it out of true. Replace the motor cooler fan with electric one so you won’t throw mud and water all over the engine when you get in deep and you can turn them back on right after. Compressor to re-inflate your tires after muding and it’s used to pump air under the truck when it is stuck to break the suction for easier removal. You don’t need extra light because if you can actually use them then you are not muding hard enough. Lockers front and rear will help. Snorkel kit and above bed exhaust pipe to keep it out of the water and mud.
A winch on the front and a roll bar with big bright off-road lights would be cool.

are you going to use it in the mud or drive it around the mall? if you plan to use it in the mud you can get lockers front and back, Bead locks to keep the rubber on the rim, fording kit if the mud gets deep, roll cage if it tips best tires would be as big as you can fit supper swampers boggers. More lights if you want to night wheel. the possibilities are as vast as how much you want to spend. Get in to a club and talk to others and go ride.
if its for the mall just get as much chrome that you can stick to it. and nerf bard so people cant see up your skirt.
