Good modifications for a Bug Out Vehicle

It's great to have a 4-wheel drive vehicle because they can go places that other cars can't. That's why I highly recommend using a 4x4 or all-wheel drive machine for a bug out vehicle. There are some things you can do to extend a vehicle's capabilities even further:

1. All-terrain tires: This one is the first one I'd do to any bug out vehicle. I've seen firsthand the difference these can make in whether you get stuck or not (especially in snow). If there's one thing on this list that I'd say is the most important, it's this one. There are a lot of good tires out there, but BF Goodrich makes a legendary one called the "All Terrain TA KO".

2. Winch: You can pull yourself out of almost anywhere with these. These come in a lot of flavors. You can get a really expensive vehicle-mounted one that will get you out of almost anywhere, but these cost several hundred dollars or more. On the cheap side, there are hand winches and come-along winches. These are manually powered and require a lot more time and effort to use.

3. Lift kits: Lifting a vehicle increases the clearance, allows you to put bigger tires on it, and just looks cool. On the downside, it raises the center of gravity and makes a vehicle more likely to roll.

4. Roof Rack: these extend your ability to carry cargo, and keep dirty things, like firewood, from getting your car dirty.

5. Brush Guard/Push Bar/Bull Bar: These are basically metal frames that go on the front of your vehicle and protect it from damage. They are great for getting through heavy brush or pushing another vehicle.

6. Locking differentials: These basically allow your wheels to have different amounts of power and prevent you from getting stuck. They're best installed by a qualified profesional.

7. Skid plates: most 4x4's come with these. They're protective metal plates that keep the important parts of the car from being banged up when driving off road. You can get even stronger ones if you're planning to do any serious off road driving. Next to the all-terrain tires, this would be the most important modification, since mechanical problems in the middle of the forest are no fun.

Would you make me an outfit on polyvore?

I'm an Alternative type of chick.
I don't really have a set "style".
I'm not really big on preppy pieces though, or boho.
Skater, scene, rocker, classic, mod, 80s.
I'm really into skinny jeans, converse, bold patterns, neon colors, and accessories.
Make me an outfit for going to K-mart to talk to a cute guy that works there. (Long story) So nothing too fancy or anything.
Awesome.
Thanks everyone, I'll pick a best answer.

*I tried making this outfit so its really colorful. If you don't want to buy it, first get a hat that is really funky and has a ton of colors(this is what puts it all together) wear a henley with a cami underneath that doesn't match and a jacket on top that doesn't quite go either, but goes with the hat. Wear a necklace , pair of earrings, watch and finish it off with a pair of trusted converse. These should all somehow go with the hat too.

* I tried to make all of the stuff so you could buy them at the mall and not online to make it easier. If you do not really want to buy anything, you can just wear a pair of skinny jeans, a funky top with lots of colors, converse, sweatshirt, and some accessories like a headband, scarf and earrings that go with the outfit.
