    2001 4x4 4runner build. At Molasses pace

    Your right to start out slow and figure out the difference of what you need vs. what you want. I took a quick look at your website and based on some of your photos and the terrain you cover, I'd suggest adding a set of rocksliders sometime in the near future. I got mine from Badland Bumpers.
