    Going to return a light bar and some Bilstein 51’s I bought for my Tundra but never put on. Was curious whether I should go for the 51’s for the new 4rnr orp or go for something else like a winch or something. Thoughts?

    What do you need? Or want?

    If you're going off-road with it much, the first mod would be tires, IMO. And, some traction boards, and other basic recovery gear.

    Well I’ve got some recovery boards and a long smitty built recovery strap. It has some 265’s nitto terra grapplers on it. I’m about to pull the trigger on a c4 low profile bumper with the matching high clearance additions. I know that I’d like to have a winch in there but I can see why it may not be a need right up front.

    I can see a snowball in your future.

    So, you have tires, some recovery gear, and a bumper is on the way.

    For me, it made sense to install the winch as I installed the bumper.

    It makes sense to do suspension after that, to accommodate the extra weight in front. Also consider rear springs for your anticipated use. I went with heavy springs because I always have recovery gear, tools, and usually fishing and camping gear in back.

    Then, your tires might look too small.. :eek:

    Oh, yeah! I forgot about armor!

    @MYYOTA1137 don't overlook armor, especially if you'll be exploring rocky areas.
