what to upgrade first?

got a little bit of cash saved up for the 2016 DCSB TRD OR which upgrade should I do first?

body armour (sliders)

skidplates (CBI full skid)

winch bumper/winch https://www.southernstyleoffroad.co...line-hybrid-bumper-access-holes-20-heise-led/ & smitybuilt X20 10k winch with synthetic line

tires on stock OR rims.. thinking 265/70-17 in either a BFG AT KO2.. or possibly Goodyear Wrangler MTR


keep in mind truck is my DD, has no lift (yet), and prettymuch stock except the soft tonneau cover, and cali raised ditch lights I installed.. Pop-lock kit is ordered..

I like to think the winch would be a good start, but let me know what you think I should start with thinking suspension is last after I add all the weight of gear/armour.

 

Tires

 

Personally I would suggest the OVTune especially since it’s your daily. But it’s your decision

 

Enter service department phone number in your phone. Priceless.

 

If you plan to use it off-road, get sliders. If you are more concerned with drive-ability or MPG, get OVtune. If you're in it for looks, get tires.

 

What are you planning on doing with it? Forest service roads or more hardcore trails ?

 

Tires, tires, tires. None of the other off road shit matters if you can't get 15ft off the pavement without getting stuck.

 

Armor first..... everything else after.

 

Stock OR wheels are 16” so you’d have to replace the wheels too.

 

Just got my Slimline and x20 installed. Love it

 

A good tire that's slightly larger than stock

 

1st, Pro grill.

That's a joke, but if I didn't buy a grill I might not have ever gotten around to doing anything else to my truck.

I was getting ready to order new wheels and tires, when I got the grill, so that was probably going to happen anyhow.

Get tires, then get sliders.

5100 bilsteins
KO2s - 265/70/17
OME 885s
AAL
TRD Exhaust
New fogs
Front skid plate

 

you could get a smaller winch and sliders. I ran a 3000lb winch in my 2004 tacoma for years and it will pull a chevy 2500 cargo van loaded. with no problems what so ever.

 

a little bit of cash?? C'MON what's "OUR" budget.

 

I would do some tires.

 

Tires and sliders. Do you already have basic recovery gear? If not put together a good kit and you can get yourself out of most stuff without a winch

 

Mastercraft Courser CXT All-Terrain Tire - LT255/85R16 10ply

These will fit with stock suspension and give you a little more ground clearance as well. They’re very similar to Cooper ST Maxx tires which are probably the best jack of all trades tires.

 

I'd hold off on the SSO bumper for a bit. They just announced an upgrade for them involving "wings" that wrap around to the wheel wells. they should be ready to go sometime this month. Whatever you do first depends on how you think you'll be using it. These trucks are pretty capable right out of the showroom. I personally did a 3" lift first and swapped out tires and wheels. Then armor. Including sliders and full skid set. Then bumpers. Front and rear.
