    This is a good point. After the lift and wheel upgrade, I now want everything down there strong and reliable, including my brakes. I'm trying to be more "safety and reliability first" and not get distracted by shiny objects. My ADD doesn't help.

    Once you've taken care of the preventative maintenance and got her reliable, my vote is for armor; sliders, bumpers and skids. Then recovery gear...

    If you don't plan to wheel, save yourself a lot of money both in parts and gas and don't armor up your truck.

    Assuming basic maintenance is already done, and this is mainly a DD on road truck, I'd recommend:

    Tundra brake swap.
    New suspension (EMU for a budget, Kings etc... if you want a better ride quality)
    New Leaf pack
    UCAs if you lift 2.25+"
    Retrofits
    New seats (I swapped 97 4runner seats, way more comfy)
    Shell if you store stuff in the back and need it secured.

    I used to have crank windows, manual locks, and manual mirrors. I've done a lot of mods to my truck but adding in power windows, keyless entry, and remote mirrors is by far one of the best mods I've ever done. Cost me under $400 to attain all the OEM components, and supplies. I built a harness to adapt to the OEM Toyota door harnesses, and created a control box to replace the integration module and RS3000 module the truck would normally use. It's pretty simple, just a couple of relays and fuses and a ton of soldering and wire routing.
