The 6 Year Dream Mild and Slow Build

For the past 6 years I have drooled over owning a Taco and modding it to my desires, due to the crazy price tag that these things go for that dream hadn't ever been achieved...till two weeks ago. I got a full time job and decided to trade off my '07 Nissan Pathfinder with 123K miles that needed air bag work and a mysterious grind on turning. In turn, I traded for a very clean 2010 TRD Sport Double Cab Short Bed with 72K miles and, Silver in color. I really wanted to get black or a white, but the price and mileage was right, so I had to settle somewhere.
My plans for the truck is modest, I don't want to go overkill, mild build that is functional. I hunt and have hopes of overland travel at some point. Bilstein 5100's with the stock springs up front and a rear plate bumper(stock one has a gouge in it, can't tell in pictures). The rear TSB has been done at some point recent, I'm guessing PO did it before trade off, dunno.

Any tips or ideas please throw them my way!
