Hi
Simple answer to your question is a place to go. Your car is already capable of going off road big time.
However (bet you knew that was coming!)
Get some AT tyres before you do anything else. Thats all I am running at the moment and it makes a massive difference. this weekend just gone I was out and had to tow a RR classic and a 110 out because both had road tyres.
The rest is down to recovery and protection. My next purchase is a winch to make sure I can get out if I get into trouble

hi steve and thanks
i have been told to get a 2 inch lift and some m t tyres and then guard underneath i just dont know if all this is neccessery straight away

I've got standard height suspension.I dont feel the need for a lift.You get to 2inch and they start going on about camber and the way it feels on the motorway.Plus I've only got little legs :lol: .I run Grizzley claws when off-roading I have a snorkel as well because sometimes I get a bit silly.I have a steering guard fitted for the same reason. I also have front and rear diff guards.If you have been playing in real gloopy mud take the diff guards off and wash behind,otherwise the mud rests against the diff pan and can cause rot. Guess how I found out .! :lol:

thankyou for that had a laugh with little legs bit ,so 2 inch lift is a waste of time and what kind of money did you pay for your grizzly claws as these are what im looking for but i need them on steel rims
