So I am heading to moab in 2 and half weeks and am looking to drop about 1k in mods before I go. My truck is 1990 4runner with 31 bfg all terrains. Here are they things I am trying to decide between.

Option 1
-Rock sliders I can get those for 350 installed.
-Custom front bumper 400 shipped to me.
I could forsure get both of those with the money i have

Option 2
- Rock sliders 350 installed
-2 inch lift 600 installed
The 2 inch lift comes with new coils and ball joint spacers

I just cant decide if I should get the 2 inch lift or a front bumper. I just dont know if the 2 inch lift will make a big difference or not.

Here is a link to the front bumperhttp://www.polyperformance.com/shop/Rock-Defense-Toyota-Front-Bumper-p-17687.html

Any opinions on what I should do would help

I am looking to spend about 1k in mods

get a locker. if you get a lock-rite or an aussie or something along those lines you don't have to reset the gears. a rear locker and some armer will get you most places you'll want to go. if you cant clear it you can slide over it. if i were you.

#1., locker.

#2. bud built cross member for much better clearance.

#3. rear bumper. the front is not as important because it gives plenty of clearance if you remove the lower valence.

that list should give your rig a night and day difference and cost unnder $1k..

Any idea how much it would cost to install the aussie locker? If i did that slider and the cross member think I would be pretty good?

not sure how much to have it installed but you can do it yourself. the biggest hang ups happen on the gigantic cross member and the rear bumper. if you get those out of the way you will get around allot better. but first and foremost get a locker.. the sliders are also a good idea to stop you from smashing up your rocker panels, which can also lead to getting hung up and make it problematic getting your doors open.

Do the sliders, and a locker, then with the left over try tracking down a used set of 33x10.5" tires... Pound the pinch weld and you are golden....
