Evening guys,
Moving in 15 days, starting my build while getting started at a new job in TN. Will have one weekend every 2 months or so for installation and ongoing exploring. Trying to map out a build so I don’t waste installation time, with time being the major poverty component. Also recognizing my kids are 4, 3, and 1, and I won’t be doing epic overlanding trips for another 2-3 years.

Build goals:
-exploring (with hiking, kayaking and camping) the southeast now, and west in a few years when my kids are older
-hunting support (whitetail primarily)



Stage 1:
-Hidden winch mount (cbi)
-smittybilt h2o 10k winch with synthetic rope
-bfg ko2 285/70/17
-front bumper viper cut (use heat gun to keep bulk of stock splash guard)
-Leitner designs Bed rack system with XL box, 2 universal mounts, bed frame reinforcement
-victory 4x4 molle center console mounts
-side steps (Cali? Cbi?)


Stage 2:
-cab up roof rack (prinsu?)
-roof top tent (iKamper?)
-arb air compressor (engine mount)
-exterior lighting
-electronic switch manifold
-hydraulic bump stops


Stage 3:
-front and rear bumpers
-cmc mount cut/relocation
-Icon 2 inch lift with cdc shocks
-35’s
-total chaos frame stiffening
-rear spare tire relocation and replacement with fuel cell

If you're going to do those 285/70/17s you're going to need that cab mount chop and lift sooner than you think. Sounds like it's going to be a good build!
