"BabyRunner PRIME" Overland Build Planning - seeking advice

The first thing you’d need to do is identify the no kidding bare-minimum requirements for your usage. While it’s a great vehicle, it’s still a compact crossover which is limited in capability and payload no matter what you do. It’s easy to get caught up in the overland hype, but I’d personally keep it light and keep it simple. If you’re having to load down your vehicle with heavy bumpers and a winch, you need a more capable vehicle to begin with. Otherwise you’re just beating on a vehicle while trying to make it something it’ll never be. Tires, some light-weight skids, and quality camping gear won’t make it instagram-sexy, but it’ll check a majority of the boxes if your intent is to get out and explore. Good luck and keep us posted!
