Stuck in mud at Pine Barrens. Noob

Are the running boards not beneficial for the sticks and branches i kick up on trails? Heard some wicked ones whack my door this past weekend so i thought they offered a bit of protection, am i naive in that regard too haha?….Since its still a new car technically, i did want to keep the lower door/rocker panels as clean as possible from debris for atleast a few years… Also if im taking off the boards, the mud guards gotta get deleted too, and then i really need a lift and 35’s to make it all look right… and that is all too much for my budget at the moment, so I think a stupidity checklist (im already working on) and upgraded true 33” A/Ts will come first and then ill see about winch vs these ground clearance upgrades down the line…

Look from what you’re telling me about ur budget and scratches I don’t recommend doing hard off-road wheeling then. Twigs sticks paint pinstripes are part of the game if you’re really into off-roading. Running boards will stop sticks I guess. I recommend just some easy dirt roads at max for ur budget n lifestyle. Get 33s n call it a day

The budget always includes 4 digit emergency tow money lol. Ill find the blend of pushing it over time and keeping it ok for my daily life… I can “afford” all
that i said, id just look even dumber than i did on easter in the mud pit when i still
need a 1100$ winch out after upgrading 3500$ . My budget isnt low iq like my actions when pushing boundaries …
