What Kind of Modifications Make the Perfect Off-Road Vehicle

A number of our customers visit our Sanford Chevy dealership to ask us what kind of modifications they should get for their off-road SUV or truck. While there are plenty of things that go into off-roading, our auto experts at Wilkinson Automotive are happy to boil down the basics so you can enjoy the best off-roading experience possible. 

Traversing over rigorous terrain, and taking on snow, ice, water, mud, and rock is no simple task. For this reason, you should visit our service center to have your regular street tires exchanged for a set of durable off-road tires that are up for anything. A great set of off-road tires feature far deeper tread and a level of reliability that you simply won’t find in a standard set of tires.

Sometimes forging through streams and ponds can put your car into a tricky situation. To prevent permanent damage to your engine, we suggest purchasing an exhaust snorkel. This exhaust extension ensures that your engine doesn’t water, and you can press on without hesitation.

There is a rule in off-roading: ‘the higher up off the ground you are, the better.’ As a result, drivers who want to transform their vehicle into an off-road champion should purchase a lift kit to increase the ground clearance of their vehicle. With increased ground clearance you can avoid scraping your undercarriage upon debris, and take on the most challenging obstacles with complete confidence.

All of these modifications together can make for quite the off-road trekker, however, you should consult one of our Chevy parts experts to help you install them all into your vehicle. Wilkinson Automotive is a dealership that exceeds expectations instead of simply meeting them.
