I was wondering what preparation or simple mods I should do to the Disco 1 to prepare to go mudding.

Also, what sort of things should I make sure to inspect after I am done playing?

tires are essentail..someone to recover you should you get stuck..mkae sure water wont get in your truck...maybe some di electric grease on the important electrical connections..as far as when you get done just give your truck a nice bath and try to get as much mud out from under it as possible..

Dig out a old pump up weed sprayer and dump in some dishwashing liquid detergent. Do not cut it much with water, just enough to let it spray. Coat the entire underside on your rig and let dry. When it's time to remove the mud it will just fall off very easily.
