I have a 2013 DCLB Limited Taco and I went with armor (Pelfreybilt front and rear bumpers, rock sliders, and full skids), lift, tires, and recovery gear in combination to achieve what I wanted on trail. I already owned enough camp gear to do the rest, so those weren't on my initial list of needs. After that it was taking the existing gear I had and improving upon it, ie dedicated stove, a RTT to replace ground tents (what I wanted to do overall, not a necessity), some better storage options, and am in the progress of improving all of that as I learn more about my needs. Future are improving on the RTT I have and very much dislike (design wise, going to a hard shell), getting a lockable and more secure bed cap, an auxiliary battery system to run my fridge more reliably, and then better water options.
You can start with water jugs you can buy at Wal Mart, camp enough and they might not be what you really want, so you make changes. I see nearly every piece of gear to be that way as you won't truly know how well it works for you until you've had to use it. Oh and two other changes that happened quickly, an awning because rain and no relief from the sun can both suck, then came seating, my camp chairs were terrible!! It all just starts to come together and really it's mostly about convenience, so if you don't want the extra, don't buy it. If you're like me and fine doing ultralight backpacking with the absolute minimum but use overlanding as your glamping, go for it. Wants vs. Needs.
