how to make my 2wd tacoma more efficient off road?

I know I should have gotten a 4x4. but planning on getting one later down the line. for now I have a 1999 tacoma prerunner 2wd WITHOUT lockers =[. I was wondering how I can get the most out of my truck off road.
I also had a question.
should I purchase a new differential?
and if so which one should i look into?
thanks

 

Tires. Tires. Tires... Then locker... also may want to look into getting some recovery stuff, maybe even a winch, you are going to get stuck just a matter of time lol

 

That pretty much sums up this thread tires, air them down too, and locker. That's all there is.

 

nice thats exactly what i was thinking. i have BFG all terrain like your build @12TRDTacoma any particular locker i should look into?
nice build btw @12TRDTacoma

 

Being a mainly street truck/daily driver I would go arb air locker.
