New England Overland Build

Hey guys I'm new to the forum, at least as an "official member". After almost a year of searching I found The Truck-- a black 2011 TRD OR ext cab manual. I have a long list of things I plan to do as I build, but the thing I need to address immediately is a lift and tires. I've been obsessing over this for the last week since I bought the truck and not getting much closer to a decision. I should probably outline how I plan to use the truck.
Unfortunately 95%ish of the miles will be onroad, however this is only about 5,000-8,000 miles a year.
The off-road miles will mostly be exploring the rockey class 4 roads of New England, which will include carrying camping gear.

 

Im not out there yet and I know they are not the best pictures in the world but this is the setup i currently have with the roof top tent everything in the bed stay dry as long at its not monsoon type of rain

 

Nice set up. Are you moving east?
