Improvements That Every Mud Bogging Truck Should Have
Everyone starts with a basic stock truck, but before long the upgrade jones is going to hit. Stock won't be good enough anymore. There are many improvements that can be made to an existing truck. The goal is to be the best and fastest truck at the mud bog.
There are many types of mud bogs but power and performance is the answer to all of them.
An engine has to have good clean air to breathe, the filter and housing area should be kept as clean and free of debris as possible. There are special after market air filters that are made for the muddy conditions of off roading.
A snorkel system raises the air intake and eliminates moisture from getting in the air way, a truck will not run good and sometimes not at all if it does not get good clean air. A kit that is made can be purchased for most vehicles, but if it's not or if the cheap route is needed it can be fashioned from pipe and elbows from an exhaust shop.
The chip system on most trucks can be upgraded as they come out of the factory with MPG in mind. Chip upgrades can be bought in the aftermarket also and can be installed by someone with a working knowledge of mechanics and a few skills.
One of the most popular areas to upgrade is the tires. There are several tread patterns available. If it is a vehicle that is also going to be used on the road be careful not to give up to much handling as off road tires patterns can be dangerous for on road driving conditions.
Pirelli, Dunlop, Bridgestone, and Goodyear make off road tires, but there are many companies that produce off road tires.
Some of the larger tires may require a lift kit, this can affect stability of the vehicle so try not to go overboard. Lift kits are not just for show they do provide a service. The foundation for many other upgrades such as tire or exhaust mods begin with a lift kit to allow room. The extra clearance that they provide does help produce a smoother ride.
A larger exhaust system piping will also produce more power from the motor as it offers less back pressure on the engine. Switching over to a stainless steel system will reduce rust and it looks more pleasing to the eye. It will cost a few extra dollars at first but in the long run it will save money on repairs to the system due to leaks in the exhaust caused by small holes.
