    Say you want the rig of your dreams. In what order would you do the mods? Choose any mods you want. It's your ride.

    Things I have done ...in order.
    Cornfed 1" Spacer
    Tires - no wheels
    Rock Sliders
    Sprint Booster
    Front Bumper/Winch combo

    Still on the list:
    Audio Upgrade- Mind boggling. Need more time/research. My brain hurts looking at the audio stuff.
    Lift Kit.
    Skid Plates
    Rear Bumper

    Feel free to add or delete any mods that you would like for your dream ride. In the order that you would do them.

    EDIT: Forgot to list the 1" spacer.

    I did mine in no particular order.

    Audio (first only because it was on sale at Toyotafest and OEM is garbage)
    Sliders
    Skids
    Tires (recently)
    Kings (on order)

    I forgot to list the 1" spacer. After the bumper/winch install I am back to the stock rake.

    C'mon, man. You are not going to upgrade the suspension only !! I know it. You know it. We all know it. What else are gonna do? Please list them in the order that you do them.

    P.S. If the suspension is your 1st mod, my bet is tires and/or wheels will be next.

    a few goodies
    First thing I did was Toytec lift / level (I have and love KDSS). I lifted less than 3 inches in the front, and nothing in the back - replaced with Bilstein 6112 Coilovers in the front and 5100s with stock springs in back. Installed Fuel Offroad wheels and 275/65R18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers at the same time.

    A couple of months later, I had the front valance painted Midnight Black to match the rest of the truck. Then color correction and ceramic coated, and then Xpel film on the front facia.

    This year, installed a pedal commander because sometimes I just want better throttle response.

    My Westcott Designs rock sliders arrived last night, waiting for SPC UCAs from Toytec to arrive and then will install both at the same shop visit. Decided on the UCAs because the tire rub on the left front is getting tiresome at full lock when backing up.

    That's where I'm at at the moment...

    Yep, tires next, not necessarily wheels, then skids/sliders. At that point you'll have a super capable rig. Then you can decide if you want to go farther.
