Convert Tundra build

[chain]

After looking a Toyotas from the Chevy side of the lot for a few years, I've decided to join your crew.

Plan is to put together a 2014 Tundra 5.7 for DD and back country travel 5-6 trips a year.
Truck will be used for work most days and to get off the beaten path on weekends. Plan on several trips to CO and WY each year to wander.

Currently, I do these trips and trips to Mexico on an XR650r, so adventure travel in a truck is all new to me.

So, that said, and after some research, here's my plan
Before taking delivery, install

Camburg 2.5 performance kit w/o leaf spring kit

18" wheels (procomp??) any other preferences?

Toyo 33" AT II tires

Once I get it home and recover finances
, install expedition one bumpers, warn m series and some sort of skid plate.

Any wisdom from experience would be greatly appreciated
TIA
Cheers!

Bud built skids are the best on the market

Why are you going with 18s--why not 17s (such as RW wheels)? Just curious.

Great looking rids papasmurf!
I see you are in SD. I keep a bike in Oceanside for Baja trips. Hoping to get the Tundra down there in '14

Currently working on the sleeping side of things.
I need to figure out a safari rack for the cab and some sort of tent or shell for the bed.

Coming from a world of adv travel on a dirt bike, I subscribe to a less is more approach.
An recommendations?

Also, I'm going to have to figure out a good solution for increased bolt on fuel, water and possibly air supply.

This truck stuff is expensive and addictive...
