New Tacoma HELP 2017 TRD OFFROAD DCSB

Hey, so what's up guys, last year my wife and I bought a new Grand Cherokee and went offroading a tiny bit and instantly was down bad. SO now it was time for us to get another car I found this TRD Offroad 2 wheel sadly but for 3,000 miles and the amazing price for it I had to get it.
So now I'm super interested in building up this baby, so I would love some tips and suggestions, especially if people are in SoCal and want to meet up or have any spots for trails or shops for the truck.
So here's what I'm thinking so please let me know what products I should be looking for and where:
-Wheels and Tires
-Lift and spacers
-Bed Racks
-Roof-mounted lights
Now here I am very interested in doing some HP upgrades to help with trails since I do have RWD only.
-OV Tune
-Supercharger
-Cold Air
-Exhaust
Also, what should I pay attention to the most regarding to the truck going to the dunes?

Now I also want to say that being a new first time tacoma owner, I might get judged or put in a stereotype which is cool but I'm super excited to have this baby and working on it. I really want to try and install a lot of these things myself to learn so excited for that too.

 

You don't need 4wd to off road but you need 4wd to do serious off roading and you def want it in the dunes

 

So you think i shouldn't even try the dunes then?

 

Ok, here is what I had when I lived in the high desert and played in dunes. Now this wasn't a taco, but it was rear wheel drive. It was an old F100. I stuck a detroit locker in the back and I got the widest large tires I could find. These things were around 15 inches wide and 35 tall. The fronts were smaller. Probably 12 inches wide. I would air them down to 20 psi. It's all about surface area. The fronts don't need to be as wide. It worked pretty well. Got stuck a few times, but with that rear locker it was good. I would do the same if I had a 2wd taco. Probably a 33 to 35 in the back and a 31 in the front. It works. It will look kinda hotroddish. But who cares.

 

Start small and upgrade to what you need not what u want .

 

If I had a 2wd truck I’d long travel it and build an Ivan Stewart inspired prenrunner and meet you at the Baja 1000. I’m also serious.
