Off Road Mods People Think Are Cool, But Really Aren’t

[broadicustomworks]

Red Tow Hooks. Apparently nothing screams off road worthy like them. ( I think Jeep started this with their trail hawks? If so, they get a pass ) GM can't put them on enough "off road" packages and now Nissan is following. There's 100's of colors out there. Let's all do the same thing.....smh

What if they were……….

Orange!!??

Too much rim, wheels over 18”

Typically not an off road mod though.

These stupid ass exhaust tips... they don’t sound powerful, they’re just loud. Now, get the hell off of my lawn.

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.

But those low profile tires and large diameter rims are also not off road mods and are just ornamental.

Oh my God....the amount of "bro'ed-out", Wranglers here in Vegas is absolutely, absurd. I'm so tired of seeing Wrangers on the road. Its like; you're not "cool" unless you do what everyone else does, and that's buy a Wrangler, load it up with LED bars, 60 inch tires, 10 ft lifts and 20 gas cans. Ugh, cannot wait to get my Bronco and give them shit.

Just recently took a trip to North Carolina and witnessed these first hand. Worst mod ever! I believe it’s called a Carolina squat.

The ones that look like they can climb a mountain but have only conquered the Local Bubble bath car wash

LED light bars. There I said it. 99.9% of them are never needed, and look stoopid as all get out.

This...this here 100%. These preproduction units we keep seeing with 10 damn circular lights on top....why? All the patterns are gonna overlap and be no different than having 2 lights.

- Kayak/mountain bike mounted to the roof that have never been taken off.
- 5 point harnesses in a street legal vehicle
- aftermarket intakes that aren't a sealed variety in service of a snorkel
- beadlock wheels (yes, I said it. Suck it up and realize you don't need them)
- airbag assisted suspension
- 6" baja style lights

Are you saying these mods are not cool at all or only if you dont use them? Just curious bc I like the idea of 5 point belts offroad with doors off and beadlocks for tires that are aired down for example.

Unless you are running a competitive off-road event, both are extreme overkill.

So this is real....and intentional?
