    Just picked up an 08 Access Cab V6 SR5 4x4 AT and I want to build it up over time (~2 years) and I am looking to get some suggestions of the best order of operations, and if there are any mods you should do at the same time as others to save time/money.

    I live in New England and we have a lot of rocks, roots, and mud (granted I've only ridden dirt bikes on our trails). I want to be able to use my bed to haul around my KTM but other than that I have no other restrictions. I was thinking Old Man Emu 2" suspension package and skid plates to start(Pelfreybilt looks good). Any other protection you'd recommend?

    I also like the ARB Deluxe Bull Bar, air compressor, and lockers!!!

    I'll need some better tires, and probably rims (but do I do this now or wait?)

    and in my dreams I see it with fiberglass fender flares front and rear (but maybe being wider isn't necessarily better)

    Anything I'm missing?

    Also if there is and existing thread I should look at let me know (new to site)

    Thanks
