    So heres what i got so far:
    Traction bars w/ mounting kit- 500
    Xenon fender flares front/rear - 400
    Bushwaker 400
    Warn fender flares 350
    K&N air filter 300
    33x13.5x16-9 super swamper ltb- 250
    33x12.5x16.5 super swamper tsl- 315
    33x12.5x16 super swamper trxus- 300

    Westin Bullbar- 300
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Bilstein 5100 shocks with toytec coilover (front) 600 3"
    Ultimate tacoma lift with bilstein shocks front/rear 1400 3"
    Old man emu tacoma lift HD front/rear 950 3"

    At everything it comes out to 3000$, is that cheap and am i missing anything??? This is just exterior so no interior advice/ideas. Could you tell me which of the wheels/flares/lifts are the better out of the bunch or if their is a better could you list that??? :D:cool:

    OME 883, 5100 all around, Wheelers 3 leaf progressive aal
    Lift - OME springs and shocks with new rear leafs.
    traction bars - Skip what for
    Fender flares - ehh to each his own but I would skip
    Air filter - Skip, doest add power, only adds dirt into engine
    Tires - Unless your in the mud all day everyday Good year MTR would be cheaper
    Westin bull bar - JUNK!! get a real custom bumber from relentless with the $$ saved from the K&N

    So i dont need the traction bar and i dont really want a huge front bumber/ guard

    Should i just do that mod to the air filter or just leave it alone, and yea ill probably be in the mud alot so tires are a must :D
