How to keep a 4WD mod log (and why it matters)
Every 4WD build tells a story — snorkels, lift kits, camping setups, recovery gear. Without a mod log, that story lives in group chats, faded receipts, and memory. A proper 4WD mod log records what you fitted, when, how much it cost, and who installed it.
Start with the basics for each mod: part name, category (camping, drivetrain, electrical, and so on), install date, and cost in AUD. Add photos of the installed part and keep receipts in one place. If a workshop fitted it, note their name — that context matters when you sell or service the vehicle later.
Logging mods against your vehicle — make, model, year, and VIN — keeps everything tied to the rig, not scattered across notes apps. When you upgrade tyres or add a dual-battery system, you can see the full timeline in one view instead of digging through emails.
Wired Build is built for this workflow: snap a mod, tag it, price it, and build a timeline your future self (or buyer) can actually use. Public builds can share a read-only link so mates can see what you have fitted without giving them access to your garage.
You do not need to log every washer and clip — focus on meaningful mods that change capability, compliance, or value on paper. Consistency beats perfection: log mods as you go rather than trying to reconstruct a five-year build in one weekend.
