    It’s kind of true. Actually it shocking that I’ve gotten this far in life.

    No BMC, only had to remove the small mud flap on the front bumper in front of the wheels. Have had no rubbing issues with moderate off-roading either.

    If you have any other questions or want to see a different angle just let me know.

    I’d go rear sway bar. It’s pretty cheap and does help the drive a lot for the crew max if your keeping it on the street or dirt roads

    I wanted to do something moderate. After Harvey hit, I wanted to add some height but didn’t want to go crazy and start changing stock angles.

    U can take the guy out of the garage, But U can’t take the garage out of the guy
    Not many yet, mostly stock.
    I’d get the rear TRD sway bar,
    Led puddle lights for the mirrors if your truck has them. Don’t get big rims if you don’t want to deal with issues that come with “ filling the wheel well “ that will leed to a lift and other expensive goodies.
    LED head lights or other bulbs, interior goodies are also easy installs. Left hand side grab handle,
    K&N air filter, don’t get TRD one
    New front TRD sway Bar.
    My list is long....:anonymous:...:popcorn:... time is short. Good luck

    agreed. stay away from the 701 if you don't want to do a chop. 0 offset limits your tire size. get the 6112/5150 setup and a set of scs wheels. they are all +25 so they will allow you to run a 295ish tire. that's a solid start.

    solid choice...and because of the above post, im going to inform you that im in no way going to tell you how to spend your money. the list that I told you that I would choose is strictly based on COST EFFECTIVE parts that are PROVEN to perform well on and off road. ive earned the right to defend that because I had a spacer lift first with ZERO intentions of offraoding the truck. 10k dollars later ive completely changed the direction of my build. the kit I suggested is a solid, relatively inexpensive way to get a great driving truck, on or off road with extreme dependability. had you said you wanted to build an offroad overlanding beast of a rig, id made a lot different suggestions :)

    Question for those that installed the TRD rear sway on a stock SR5 suspension, did you have the same responsiveness that is talked about on the forums. I can definitely tell the truck takes turns like it's on rails. However on the straight away I feel like the ride is rougher, not crazy but just enough to make it feel off. Almost like it is skipping.

    Baja fogs were one of the first and best things I've done. Really want leather seats w heaters right now. Bed lights, footwell lights, and better LED front blinkers we're pretty cheap and very functional mods too.
