Stock is OK when your just getting started at mud bogging, but as the weeks go on your going to want to out-perform your competitors. There are several different areas of a four wheel drive that can be modified. The point is to be the biggest and the best.
Performance is the key and you can't have to much power to win at the mud bog events.
Clean air is a good place to begin, the engine has to have clean air for the best combustion and the most power. The air filter and housing should be kept free of dirt and debris. There are high performance filters and housings produced in the aftermarket.
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.
An upgrade to the chip system is often needed as the vehicles come off the assembly line fueled very conservatively. There are chips offered with more power in mind and the upgrades can be done in about 15 minutes by anyone with some basic knowledge of mechanics.
The tires get a lot of attention for two reasons, an aggressive pattern can really help win events and it makes the truck look really good. If the truck is used on the road for everyday driving do not be to aggressive, it can affect handling and driving conditions.
Pirelli, Dunlop, Bridgestone, and Goodyear make off road tires, but there are many companies that produce off road tires.
Before a larger tire can be used the truck will need to be lifted, but not to worry there are lift kits just for this purpose. A lifted truck has a nice look to it but lift kits do provide a service. Most times the extra clearance will be needed for the tires or exhaust system modifications.
The exhaust system is a popular upgrade as a larger exhaust system produces more power from the engine. Upgrading to a stainless steel system can be more expensive at first but the cost to maintain over time can produce savings. The stainless steel tips extending out the back of the vehicle are visually more pleasing.
