    have some money coming in from an OT settlement from work, and a few years of back tax returns..

    what I have already:
    2016 tacoma v6 DCSB TRD OR
    yokohama geolandar 265/65/16's
    cali raised ditch lights/brackets/switch
    KBvoodoo high rise bars
    tyger soft tonneau cover
    ARB Simpson III RTT
    procomp 30' tow strap
    3 30,000lb shackles
    1 22,000lb snatch block
    tools hand and M12 milwaukee ratchet, and impact getting a 1/2" impact soon
    basic camping gear (stove, jetboil, small pots pans, 9 day cooler)
    GRIT air down tool
    VIAIR 88p air compressor (battery clamp style)
    archive offroad u-bolt flip kit w/ superbumps (not installed waiting on lift kit)

    what should I get first? this is my lift of wants..

    2019-2020 BUILD LIST:
    *OVtune
    *lift kit - looking at bilstein 6112's, and 5150's kit with dakar leafs for a 2" lift.
    *tires- still torn between 255/85/16's, or 285/75/16 cooper ST MAXX or even going to a 17" rim and opening up other tire possibilities
    *front bumper - SSO hybrid w/ 20" lightbar & 10,000lb winch (smitybilt X20) bumper cover will be getting trimmed for tire clearance, and optional high clearance kit for bumper is highly possible
    *sliders (bolt on) I dont use as a step, so no filler
    *rear bumper (stock is just plastic...) possibly 1 swing out tire carrier/jerry can holder, and a table...
    *upTOP bed rack full height (want this so i can use my RTT annex, and get an awning)
    *armor

    LATER DATE:
    *dometic fridge/freeze (dual, want option to carry frozen)
    *HAM radio setup Icon 5100, decent antenna
    *dual battery setup (homebuilt, dont like options I've seen so far (too much $$))
    *Archive offroad hammer hangers.

    This is my DD, i drive roughly 8-10 minutes to work and back 5-6 days a week, and I HAVE to make it to work.. that being said I have the availability of a backup car if I need to..

    this build is planned for durability, retain some MPG's for longer treks (I plan to travel the US in this rig), to make the longer treks more comfortable, and make the truck more capable..

    interior mods are planned a 8-10" tablet based GPS on ball mounts on a 3TPAM... as well as my phone and a dashcam (looking at owl (kinda pricey, and required service contract??), or another similar type)..

    Suspension. Sooo much better ride than stock OR crap. 6112s love it when you hit stuff fast. It makes speed bumps and parking lot entrances fun. Except on an empty bed......those Dakar’s like to bounce that rear end up behind you.

    regearing is LONG down the road.. right alongside a front locker, and stronger front RCV axleshafts.

    I appreciate it, so far as power compared to my older car mazda CX-5 this thing is lightning fast in comparison, and has plenty of torque.. running around now with all my gear minus sleeping bags, clothing, and 170lbs of fuel and water it handles fine as is.. I know gearing will suffer with a nearly 33" tire.. leaning more towards the 285/75/16 tires (32.6" tire)..

    I don't know about you, but I've been paranoid since I bounced my stock skid plate off a rock the other weekend. Other wise, I'm stock but with a RCI steel front skid, and sliders. Probably tires next and I should be good for a majority of the trails I plan to do. Lift is pretty far down after things like a bed rack, RTT, recovery gear etc.
