    Note: I'm not an avid offroader/wheeler. Basically building for an overland/camping build. I do drive my truck a lot, so mods that help gas mileage, looks, and functionality are good. I drove sports cars in the past and usually went cosmetic over performance, last car, my RX8, started putting more emphasis into performance instead.

    2011 V6 DCLB. So far I have it debadged and a Leer cap for it.

    Here are my current top choices(not in any order), looking for advice on the order. please put your top 2 or 3, it would be a huge help

    1. Roof rack on the Leer cap(so i have extra room while camping to put dogs in the bed)
    2. Safari Snorkel, heard of 1-2mpg increase, plus looks awesome
    3. 2.5"-ish lift
    4. Magnaflow Exhaust
    5. FJ Rims
    6. other... feel free to fill this in however you want.

    I would do this:

    2. rims
    3. rack

    also if your gonna be doing any offroading I would look into armor and recovery too

    mostly stock, grocery gettin' Prius
    1. Lift, rims, and tires (usually done at the same time; I am cheating :drevil: )
    2. Rack
    3. Snorkel

    Some other suggestions (in no order):

    CB radio
    Hi-Lift Jack
    quality recovery gear as mentioned above
    Armor (bumpers, skids, sliders etc)
    Winch
    Lights/LED bars

    I would hold off on exhaust. Most people like it at first then hate it due to drone.

    Obviously lift is first then. I really wanted the FJ Rims but just realized that I have 17's. So I will have to wait until I get tires replaces before looking into downsizing to 16" wheels.

    I've been looking at the ARB bumper and Elite off road front Aluminum Bumper. Leaning more towards aluminum.

    Homertaco grill is a future plan. Just waiting for 100 more people to get their grills first. :(
