2008 RCSB - What Next?

Intended use: Hunting rig / off-road. Daily driven about 30 miles a day. We make a few trips out west every year to go hunting (2k round trip) and see rocks, snow and some mud.

The truck came with a level/lift kit and I just put new stock tires on - should have went bigger and more aggressive, but I am waiting to get new wheels later.

I'm looking for functionality and I'm thinking:
Bigger gas tank
ARB front and rear
Bumper with winch
Suspension re-do (since I'm not sure what is there)

I'll do some cosmetic later. New grille, etc...

My questions to the forum is: What should I do first? What am I overlooking?

Thanks for your time!

 

Bigger gas tank is definitely a good idea. Especially for long trips

 

I don't think a larger tank is available for our RCSB...

 

Read my mind...wasn't sure.

 

There is no room to replace the stock gas tank with a larger model on our trucks. The only place extra gas could go in a Regular Cab w/6.5ft bed is in the bed. Some good A/T tires would be the best start. You can fit larger tires on stock wheels (up to about 285mm wide) and the wheel wells are big enough for 34-35" tires to fit. What motor do you have?

 

Take some pictures of your suspension.

 

You can always carry some Jerry Cans of fuel...

 

good suspension, bigger tires, LED lights, bumpers but don't go overboard with those big ugly ones. You can always carry extra gas in bed. How about a camper shell ?

 

I'll get some suspension pictures today.

Disappointed about the gas, I wanted to do the 38gal swap.

Just had a topper installed...and it is awesome!

Motor is a 5.7

 

God I love RCSBs. I looked and looked before I decided functions over form but man. They are like everything I want for a daily .

Post more pics of your truck ! And welcome.

 

I hear if you put a supercharger on it, you get better mileage. Then you wouldn't need the 38 gallon tank!

 

Put those spacers in the dumpster and replace those ten year old shocks/coilovers with some cheap and gently used parts from someone who just upgraded from stock.

 

Suspension first it is.

 

Get wheelskins wrap for the steering wheel. Stock steering wheel feels so small in my hands. Love the feel.
