Some quick questions about t100's
I just picked up a T100 and need to know a few things, I am only planning mild-modertate wheeling. No crawling.
I appreciate all answers very much, thank you!
1. I am looking to mount a full bumper or a brushguard but I all am finding is that they dont make the bumpers with the brushguards on them (like a t15) for this truck.
-TJM T15 bumper will fit? Or is my only choice a TJM T17 without the integrated brushguard? Will they hold a winch-I am getting conflicting answers off the sites that sell these.
-Would a warn transformer brushguard even be worth it and stand up to some abuse or should I just get the full bumper?
-I plan on mounting a winch in the end, so that could come into play with the choices. The warn sites will take one, but I have no idea if the TJM bumpers will.
2. I wanna go to 33x12.5x15 (or 10.5) with a lift, Right now I can run 31x10.5x15 with no lift. I am planningon doing a 4" procomp suspenion lift, so will the tires fit?
-I also have have 4.10 gears, would it be worth it to regear?
3. Do I really need a locker? I was thinking a lunchbox style locker would be the easiest to go and I cannot find an e-locker and dont want air.
-If I do get a locker I am worried due to the truck being my daily driver that I will wear out the tires and or chirp my tires doing turns. My truck is an automatic so I cannot coast.
4. Anything else I should really know or modify that I have overlooked? I am planning on doing the usual nerf bars, skidplates etc as well.

Thanks guys. Its hard to find what bumper will fit, I still like the brushguard but how heavy duty are they? I assume if I slam into anything they arent gonna with stand much.
