In order to mod a vehicle in Fortnite, players must first find a vehicle mod on the map. These can be found in various places but are generally found as part of floor loot and within the Garage buildings on the map.

After finding a mod, you can then apply it to your vehicle by equipping the mod and throwing it at the vehicle. Whether it’s Chonkers Tires or a Cow Catcher, either one counts as a vehicle mod.

Here’s a step by step guide:

  • Find a garage on the map that contains a vehicle.
  • Now, look around the garage for a vehicle mod.
  • If you see one, pick it up to add it to your inventory, if you don’t, keep trying other garages and chests.
  • Select the mod from your inventory so that your character is holding it.
  • Hold aim and throw the mod directly at the vehicle.
  • This should place the vehicle mod on the car.
