Bros finally did it😂 took her off the tarmac for the first time last weekend, and went for a small trail near Kitulgala. Ela pack of mud everywhere but she handled like an absolute beast even stock. No lift no nothing, pure stock setup and still went through like a boss. Now thinking snorkel+ proper tires before next round cause next time wanna go deeper. Any of you guys done real off-roading in SL? Drop your setup, need advice urgently 🙏

Eyy nice machan🔥🔥 Kithulgala is the perfect starter trail, everyone cuts their teeth there lol. For tires don't rush into Mud-Terrains straight away, go All-Terrain first, most of us here running AT and it's more than enough unless you're doing rivers/deep mud regularly, Save the MT money for later😅

Machan super, congratulations on the first trial!! Kitulgala mud is no joke, especially after rainy days. About the snorkel idea, definitely go for it if you're planning to cross water streams, but don't forget to seal the airbox with proper silicone as well. Stock setup with good line selection can beat most lifted rigs if you drive smart! Post some photos of the mud bath!🚜🔥
