Hello all,
I've finally picked up a 2009 SR5 4wd 4Runner and am ready to take the time and money to build it up. My main goal is to have a rig to take my kids camping to remote places, more than just dirt roads, but not technical rock crawling.
Right now I'm in the middle of fabricating a full length roof rack followed by a 40" light bar, but I need help on where to go from here.
Funds are not endless, so this will be a slow process. Right now it has nearly new tires, good tread for dirt roads but not sand, mud or gravel. I would like to do a lift, and add some BFG A/T a bit taller than the ones I have (from 265/70 r16 to 285/75 r16). But, I wonder if I should keep the good tires I have and put that money elsewhere, like a set of Maxtrax, a compressor, dual battery or roof top tent.
So what are your build priorities and why?
