So where do I start when considering modifications? I drive a 2011 Tacoma TRD Sport and she's all stock right now but my camping adventures are taking me away from the usual campgrounds. Thoughts? Suggestions? Ideas?
Drive it stock until you find a shortcoming with it. Stock will get you most places. Lift, lockers, RTT, fridges, etc make it easier and more comfortable. You have to figure out which mods you need and which ones you don't.
It all boils down to tires. You want bigger tires to be able to get the truck down those lonely roads. You need the suspension and gears to go with the tires and then at some point, you need more horsepower to push it all.
Need vs want
Tires = want
Everything else = need
I agree with this.
Go out and travel in your vehicle...you'll figure out what you need. I find that as get older....less is more. Believe many get lost in "The Build" and bolting a bunch of accessories on, than actually getting out and exploring.
Me personally I don't need much.
This is probably favorite thread right now.

Thanks for the responses. Looks like I need to just get out more and see what we're capable of and go from there.
Best reason to upgrade I've ever seenYou need a tube bumper so u can weld a bottle opener on it ...
