I hope this got posted in the right place if not sorry :scratch:

First things first i have some upkeep to catch up to on my Tb

After that i plan on going in this order

suspension lift
Spacers
Tires Bridgestone or Firestone M/Ts
Skid Plates... Having a hard time finding some that fit
Differential Cage
Aux. Lighting leaning towards a bully bar with 2 lamps
Wondering where the best place to put switches at there is a blank spot left of the steering wheel that looks like it could be good

Also whats the thoughts on CAD intakes are they worth it for off roading not very dusty where i am at

Differential Cage The only place I know of is Purple Cranium
Aux. Lighting leaning towards a bully bar with 2 lamps The Bully bar will take away your approach angle

There is a transfer case skid plate, doesnt protect much from a behind hit, but does cover the TC well. Plus it's only 10 dollars from a dealer, there's a thread on here about it.
