Mod advice?

So i just purchased a 1995.5 Tacoma Ext. Cab LX and i'm looking for some advice on some mods. I am on a smaller budget due to college, so im looking for something that is durable yet cheap.

Things i'm interested in:
  • Fog lights
  • 33" M/T's or A/T's
  • Lift to allow 33's with flex
  • Instructions for making a swaybar quick-disconnect
  • Seats with 4-point harness
  • Locker for front and rear
  • Instructions for homemade front bumper


I can't do all this at once but would like to have all the info before I attempt any of it. Thanks!

Lift, tires, lockers aren't the cheapest.

for me it was 1k lift, 660 tires, 750 rear locker.

I would go armor first, sliders. Then go for a rear locker. those two things help out a lot on the trail.

If you lift and do tires, and you don't have the right gearing then you will want to regear it.

Yes it would be, but your gonna have to deal with it on the streets, i have heard they aren't bad on the streets, but its gonna have its quirks. You also have the choice to sway in an elocker axle under your truck.

That 750 for me, was an arb, compressor, and set up for it.
