Thanks much! Well.....
I'm not exactly done....I haven't really updated this thread with everything, but I have most of the latest mods on my website:

The next planned project is upgrading the alternator to a 150amp Tundra/Sequoia unit. I've got all the parts. It's just a matter of installing it.
I figure I'll PM all the coolent/heater hoses at the same time and do some other PM work, so it will probably be an all weekend project and I'm still gathering other parts.
What I would like to eventually is add Metaltech Sliders and some kind of rear bumper/tire carrier set up....I'm liking Slee's set up so far. And probably do an ARB snorkle as well.
Problem is, I'm having a hard time justifying to myself (and the wife) spending thousands more dollars on a rig that gets 11-12 mpg considering current gas prices and with a recession coming up and other issues, that means we really should be saving money instead of blowing it.
So, for now, things are progressing fairly conservatively. I'm generally very happy with the set up right now and it wouldn't kill me if I just left it like it is for a while. But I have my dreams.
At least I have something to look forward too. Building is half the fun. Once it's all done, things get kind of boring.
