Before we talk about my exact build budget breakdown, which I plan on making an updated-for-2023 video for, let's discuss the basic considerations for building an extremely capable Lexus GX470, Toyota 4Runner, Toyota Tacoma-or other IFS platform- Off-road/Overland build. 20k may seem like a lot for all these modifications, and trust me, I have found ways to come in well below that, but if you compare the capability, comfort, and reliability you can get with these rigs compared to the cost of a brand new Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, Tacoma Trail Hunter, or Ford Bronco Sasquatch, the value for dollar proposition makes a lot of sense. For me, the value-to-performance ratio starts to get a bit skewed when you get into custom work or extremely expensive parts like front long-travel, etc. You can get an insanely capable rig with the basic stock control arms and parts, while enabling less costly maintenance, broad replacement parts availability, and simplicity of repairs.

This video mainly covers recovery equipment, which may not translate into 'mods' per se, but you'll need parts like front recovery points or front steel bumper/winch mount, rear recovery points or hitch receiver D-ring shackle mounts, spare tire carriers like this one from Restless Off-Road: https://www.restlessoffroad.com/produ...
