Traiden's build

I'm on a trip to Canada right now. I will add pictures of my truck and organize this better if needed when I have a chance. Was just looking around and getting different ideas and wanted a place to keep track of them.

Disclaimer: I don't really know what the hell I'm doing. This is my first truck (previous vehicle was a Honda Civic) though I'm trying to do most of the work myself. I got it for work (field biologist) for getting to remote study sites as well as a place to sleep so that I could take jobs that A) Don't come with housing and B) Don't provide vehicles for transportation to the study sites. Several jobs I've taken require off road driving in order to get to and around study sites or at least as close as you can before hiking the rest of the way in. Any suggestions would be appreciated, but this is mostly for functionality, cosmetic stuff will be at the bottom of my list of things to do followed by over the top modifications that likely won't even be fully utilized.

2"-3" lift? (This is one of those things I have no clue about. Right now, I'm fine, but I think once I add the bumpers, I will need a little bit of a lift. If anyone could give any recommendations, it would be appreciated.)

Would like to get better tires at some point, not sure about wheels. Wheels are probably one of those things that will wait.

Tuffy like box (I saw on here a while ago, someone had made something similar to a tuffy box, but for both the right and left boxes and mounted the AC outlet on the inside of the box. I can't find that thread any more though. This is also why I'm making this thread so I can link to stuff like that and not lose them)
