    What is the best piece of advice you can give a new overlander?

    What is the best piece of advice you can give a new overlander?

    Welcome to the West Region. Nice liking rig. As I have learned more - it is recommended to first make sure you have good tires, good suspension and lift, and then rock sliders.
