Welcome to the obsession! Do some reading, watch some videos, then find a local group to go out with. Best way to learn. It’s generally a great community that loves bringing in newbies, so long as you are willing to learn and do your best to stick to “leave no trace” principles. Just be aware that some of the people here… well let’s just say it’s not specifically an off-roading or overlanding forum.
It’s fine if you have orange or red recovery gear. It’s even fine if you have it strapped to your rig during a Costco run. No one that knows what they’re doing will condemn you for having a pair of recovery boards, a high lift jack, or extra fuel/water, even if they don’t care for the color or brand. Those that do… well, help em get unstuck anyway.
Just commit to knowing how and when to use your gear and you’ll always be able to help yourself and others.
Don’t worry about all the sour-grape shit, learn all you can, actually hit a trail (a lot of people miss this step), and then keep learning. You’ll have a great time, meet great people, and see places most people won’t. Good luck!
Where have you been all these months!?
I like this Kricket person.
Like, a bunch.
This is an awesome post and I agree.
Get on out there and push your limits/comfort zone a bit.
Take the high road when others go low.
Best post of the day award from the Broadi stables, FWIW.

And don't start buying crap just for the sake of buying it. Understand what its for and whether or not you need it. If you're buying it for looks, that's ok, just understand that

I thought the point of this thread is that it doesn't look cool. Or it did look cool until 500,000 other people before you did it. Now it's just unoriginal and lazy. Go find your own cool thing.
That's a lot of pressure, man. I have to be a trend-setter with my mods? But isn't that how the Carolina Squatters came to be? And look what we did to them...

This thread is nice because we're hating on shit that's actually worth hating and we're bonding over it. Lately, it's just been us hating on one another.

This camaraderie is awesome. Keep it coming.

...and fuck Jeep Angry Eyes.

You can always fallback to "I made this mod because I needed this functionality for this purpose." Classic solid reasoning that also bolsters the add-on, "and it looks really cool."

You all can throw shit my way but a pair of fuzzy dice WILL be going on my rear view mirror. 😀

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’m on the same page except for “orange”??
