Garage Management Tips

Keep Records Updated

Update your odometer reading and maintenance records regularly. Accurate records help with warranty claims, resale value, and catching potential issues early.

Document Everything

Save receipts, take photos during installations, and note any issues encountered. This documentation is invaluable for insurance claims and future troubleshooting.

Plan Modifications Carefully

Research modifications thoroughly before purchasing. Consider how each mod affects other systems, warranty, and insurance. Build your rig systematically.

Budget for Maintenance

Overlanding vehicles require more frequent maintenance than daily drivers. Budget for regular services and unexpected repairs to keep your rig reliable.
