Mechanical upgrades

I am looking some mechanical upgrades to my second gen tacoma. I just want something that will last I hunt on mine and it has no problem in the mud I'm just worried about the trails I have to ride to get there I can tell some of my front end is giving. What kind of upgrades do you guys suggest or what company's. Looking for toughness... also looking a future 2.5 to 3 inch lift.

 

Guesseted spindles, sliders, and quality bash plates
Stock is tough enough for me and more importantly, simple to repair

 

AnotherDude above is right.
Lifts are always a compromise. Toyota builds these trucks well, but aftermarket modifications almost always result in increased maintenance somewhere.

Billstein 5100s are about the lowest maintenance lift out there.

 

All of this is accurate.
Every change you make brings up a gremlin that you should make another modification to resolve, and on, and on...

The stock Tacoma is surprisingly capable. That said, a properly modified Tacoma is shockingly capable.
