    After almost a 5 month wait, just got my Taco beefed up a bit- New OME suspension, 3'' lift. Threw on an ARB summit bumper, IMO the only one that might actually hold up to deer collisions. (bumper costs less than my Deductible, so why not!) A warn 10,000 lb. winch, new BFG KO2's, and a serious hole in my wallet. Drives like a completely different animal, in a good way. No more wallowing on windy dirt roads, slamming in deep ruts, etc. appears to have taken about a 1mpg hit, but not enough drive time to really tell. Not enough to concern me. Actually, with the bigger tires, the sweet spot has gone from 65-70 to close to 75. That's here in the mountains, at 7-9000'. I'm happy as hell. Now- What next???

    The only add on I’d suggest is a pair of sliders. Aside from that, you are well set for some adventures.

    Hopefully you added the ECGS bushing.

    Yeah, those OEM steps are a joke. Shop is getting in some direct-to-frame ones that should afford some protection.

    That's a horrible idea. What time?
    I second the sliders and ECGS bushing. You might think about skids. I was surprised that with a 3" lift how many scrape marks I have on the gas tank. I have a plastic pro skid ready to go on, just need to make the time to do it.
