    Hey guys,

    New to me 2011 rock warrior with a 5.7 and 4x4. Had 120k when I bought her.

    What I've done so far:
    - Front and rear diff fluid change(amsoil)
    - Transfer case fluid change(amsoil)
    - Transmission fluid change(OE WS fluid)
    - Oil change(mobile 1 0w20 + installed fumoto valve)
    - New Cabin air filter(had a rats nest and terrible smell....idk how the previous owner lived like that)
    - Replaced the starter...It died day 3...sus (OE)
    - New OE small starter heat shield(angrily mangled OE one)
    - Took off the bed to fix 2 holes(still currently off)
    - Ospho'd small rust spots, wire brushed flakes on C channel bed frame area
    - Ordered RCI Skidplate, transfer skid, cat shields(only received transfer skid so far)
    - Converted my buddy who has a 3rd gen taco to wanting a tundra
    To do:
    - Replace spare tire carrier(anyone have a rust proof aftermarket version or one I can mount and still have a tonneau cover?)
    - install trd swaybar coming in this week
    - fix exhaust leak caused by totally reinstalling the rear flange gasket on the passenger cat bank.....it disintegrated and i didnt want to deal with it....or better yet New exhaust(any recomendations for a nice deep low rumble, no/VERY little rasp and drone and true duals?)
    - roll up tonneau cover (and recommendations for soft roll up brand?)
    - Weld in patches and actually seam seal under bed
    - Linex bed
    - Spray black woolwax everywhere
    -Finish installing seat covers
    - New head unit, speakers(yall recommend taco tunes, 12volts, or something else?)
    - remote start (12 volt or start-x? I don't want to cut anything)
    - New tires
    - New front bumper
    - New rear bumper
    - New intake(leaning towards dry S&B. Any reason for oiled and not dry?)

    Anything I should worry about or upgrade for this ol girl(besides the mentioned above)? I intend on keeping her until my kids have kids so nothing is too crazy.
