1) Too many lights
1A) Anything Orange
2) Steps of ANY type
3) Body mounted sliders
4) Trailer hitches that steal departure angle
5) Spacer lifts
6) Fake balls hanging from the back; any bumper sticker or other redneck type useless gear

I don’t consider “angry eyes” or chrome to be off-road modifications as they are just ornamental Like stickers and such.
large diameter rims and low profile tires are actually detrimental to a vehicles off road performance.

Anything way over the top for what you're doing.

I feel like the fun in off-roading is finding something that challenges your ability and the vehicle, not just throwing money at accessories until nothing you're doing is challenging. Just my opinion and to each their own.

Went to MOAB about a year ago dirtbiking with some friends. Came across a convoy of brand new Wranglers and Raptors with everything you can buy out of a catalog. We wound up going up the same trail as them in a 2WD rental truck, on street tires, with 3 dirtbikes in the back. We definitely got some laughs out of that.

6: I thought those were real! But I agree, letting them drag in dirt and over rocks just cannot be.

LOL never been a fan of mounting those in places that they can be potential projectiles if in a crash.

Rotopax or gas cans in general? Or the mount? Confused what you circled… I carry extra fuel for my side by side.

Too much rim, wheels over 18”

Reminds me of an old timey stage coach.

Removing fender flares.

Exactly this…where else would you put your beer on while you asses damage?

I think he means Rotopax on a daily driver. Rotopax on trail good, on daily driver cheesy.

call me what you want but I can't stand being blinded on the road by LEDs. I also can't stand any flags other than old glory.
