    Do you plan on off-roading it? What kind of off-roading?

    I'd start with a nice set of sliders, that's pretty much a given for anyone that does any moderate to serious off-roading with their truck.

    Yeah I do, moderate but that could change. It's my first taco so I want to be ready for anything. I know it's going to be a process but I'm excited about it.

    If you're off-roading, I suggest sliders like @eon_blue and full skids for protection. You could relocate your differential breather for dirt cheap, if you're going to go in some water.

    I've been doing mostly aesthetic, but some functional...aesthetics are cheaper lol, but the functional mods (lift, tires, lockers, armor) will come with time. The lift is actually on it's way now :) welcome to the addiction
