Don't try any big water holes... You'll get stuck in the ruts of hell & a tow truck will have to rescue you. Any tires at least? Trail riding in the stock suspension is pretty fun, if ya got tires MUD wholes are sweet. Whatcha got?

do you have some kinda locker in the rear? if not thats one of the best upgrades, and tires. if you dont have a winch/other people to pull you out keep to the smaller stuff. It can be very deceiving on how hard some things are to get though.

A locker is a rear differential locker. Locks the rear wheels together so both have pulling power, not just one like on an open diff.

If you look in your glove box the RPO code for a posi locking rear end is g80. Best tip is to never ride alone, dont go into water above the top of your bumper, and instead of beating the crap out of your truck trying to get unstuck just take a pull from your friend.

a easy way to tell if you have a g80 is see if you have a full sized -stock- spare tire. This is not a for shure why of telling but all g80 equipped trucks came with a full sized spare:)
