Point the front end toward the trail and drive forward?

Instead of running out and spending the money that is burning a hole in your pocket, go run a trail or two and see what would actually help you on the trails in your area. Bigger tires? More ground clearance? Armor? More power? Better lights? etc.

Recovery kit - tow strap, recovery points (hitch insert works well in the back), gloves, bag, flashlight w/ batteries.

Then grab handles

Relocate your breathers before you go through with the overwhelning urge to hit that water/mud hole during your run.

Front/rear diff and transmission breather relocate cost approx $25 opposed to the $200+ cost of damn I should have relocated them.... (just through the $200 figure out there)......

Do what he said. But do it with someone that did it 10000000000000 times before. They will help you go anywhere. They will get out of anything. See what outdoor life is all about. You may not like it. If you will, good for, you it's fun. then you'll decide which way you want to go. Good luck.
