    So I bought a taco at 16 y/o. Gonna keep this thing forever. Besides the point though, I am at a position in this build where I need to decide which 'path' to take. The options I've limited it down too are; overlanding, hard off-roading, and turning this thing into a badass prerunner. I' wondering if anyone else has added baja style mods their truck and if so how much it costs to fully complete.

    Random stuff. Oh! and converted to non ADD 4x4.
    First of all congrats on the purchase! If money is not an issue you can do it all. If your income is limited then start planning a strategy. I highly encourage to browse the forum for builds and experiences and as well the use of YouTube to observe what other have done. Cheers!

    I have about 7500$ in parts ready to order for a pretty much stage 1 long travel setup.
    No labor cost (me)

    And its probably not going to be as great as I think.

    Shock tuning is more important than travel numbers.

    Gonna depend on you and what you end up really enjoying with the truck, as much as it sounds like a cop out answer. Get out and try all 3 with your truck as it sits before you start painting yourself in a corner with mods, see what YOU really need and not what you're told you need before spending.

    This.

    The different builds you mention are all wildly different activities so sounds to me the first thing you need to figure out is which one you want to focus your time, energy and money on.
