    We can't tell you what mods to do....unless you tell us:

    What do you use the truck for?
    What do you LIKE about the truck?
    What do you hate about the truck?
    Do you want LOOK?
    Do you want FUNCTION?
    Where do you drive the truck?
    What types of things do you carry in your truck?
    Etc
    etc
    etc

    The truck is my daily driver and my only transportation for now. I want more function I don't care to much for look. I want it to get me to work and out in the mountains and I'm going more for an overlander as opposed to a hard core rock crawler.

    I was actually thinking about how I would do it if I could start over knowing what I know now just yesterday. Do the cheap easy basic mods like diff breather and deckplate. Then t a set of 31 inch mud tires. Maybe wheels if you so desire but that can be done later. After that get front bumper, skids, and recovery gear such as hi lift. I'm assuming you already own atleast a chain or tow strap. From there go ahead and lift when you need new tires. Also get a full size spare here and maybe rear bumper with tire carry. Finalle get badass lights and frame plating. Just my suggestion though
