Stock is OK when your just getting started at mud bogging, but as the weeks go on your going to want to out-perform your competitors. There are several different areas of a four wheel drive that can be modified. The point is to be the biggest and the best.
Power and performance is the way to win at the mud bogging events, and winning is what it's all about.
The air intake is a good place to start. First of all it should always be as clean as possible. There are air filters that are made to withstand the harsh conditions of offroad.
Installing a snorkel system raises the air intake and reduces stalling due to water intake. A fitted kit can be purchased for most vehicles or one can be fabricated from elbows and pipe from exhaust shops.
A truck is usually produced with MPG in mind and it comes out of the factory chipped very conservatively. Upgraded chips are available in the aftermarket and can be added by anyone with a basic understanding of mechanics and small amount of know how.
The tires get a lot of attention for two reasons, an aggressive pattern can really help win events and it makes the truck look really good. If the truck is used on the road for everyday driving do not be to aggressive, it can affect handling and driving conditions.
Goodyear, Pirelli, Bridgestone, and Dunlop produce offroad tires just to name a few.
Before a larger tire can be used the truck will need to be lifted, but not to worry there are lift kits just for this purpose. A lifted truck has a nice look to it but lift kits do provide a service. Most times the extra clearance will be needed for the tires or exhaust system modifications.
The exhaust system is a popular upgrade as a larger exhaust system produces more power from the engine. Upgrading to a stainless steel system can be more expensive at first but the cost to maintain over time can produce savings. The stainless steel tips extending out the back of the vehicle are visually more pleasing.
