    Welcome aboard. What do you want to do with the new truck? Crawling, desert runs, get to your hunting/fishing/camping spot?

    Depending on the access roads, and budget:
    -suspension upgrade (OME, Bilstiens, or King/Fox/Icon) something adjustable and ditch the spacers.
    -rear leaf pack, AllPro, OME Dakar or similar, both for lift and load capacity
    -cap, cover or rack+tarp solution to carry the gear and keep it dry.
    -new tires, almost anything is better than the OE (you have an OR, so maybe less of an issue?)
    -sliders and Skids
    -bumpers (nice, good looking, but spendy)
    -gear (recovery, emergency, etc)
    -start hunting noises you've introduced:)

    Good luck

    Thank you for all the info. Il start looking into it. I was thinking a 3" lift so warranty is still valid. Didnt know exactly where or what to look for though. When it comes to price thats of no issue. Ill take my time buying everything and getting installed. I have a lot of time overseas to get all this done before i actually get to enjoy it.
