Hello!
I'm brand new to the overland community and I'm looking for some help getting started building out my rig. I currently own a 2017 TRD Sport 4x4 Double Cab which is completely stock aside from some cosmetic changes that I made over the past year. I've taken this vehicle "off-road" a couple of times just to see how it performed without any modifications and overall, I thought it did performed well. I guess what I really want to know is what do I need to get started? I've seen a lot of videos on YouTube where people install lifts, suspension, tires, bumpers, and gears. How do I determine what items I need for the build vs what's I don't need? My intentions are to build a capable truck that can go perform well off-road for weekend overlanding and camping (I live in the DMV and I'm still researching places to go for that. It doesn't seem like there is much around here ).
