What are the best modifications for a Toyota Hilux for off-roading?

I recently purchased a Toyota Hilux and I'm interested in making some modifications to improve its off-roading capabilities. I'm not sure where to start or what upgrades will give me the biggest bang for my buck. Any advice from Toyota Hilux experts would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Samantha, congratulations on your Toyota Hilux purchase! As someone who has been off-roading with my Hilux for years, I can recommend a few key modifications that have greatly improved my off-roading experience.

First and foremost, I highly recommend upgrading your suspension. This will give your Hilux better ground clearance and improve its overall handling on rough terrain.

Another important upgrade is a set of all-terrain tires. These offer better traction and durability on rocky or muddy surfaces.

If you plan on doing a lot of rock crawling, I suggest installing a front and rear locking differential. This will give your Hilux better traction and control in challenging situations.

Lastly, don't forget to invest in a quality winch. You never know when you might get stuck and a winch will save you from having to call for help.
