so im 4 days into my new 14 SCREW and its the best truck ever and rules, we all know that and thats why we have them. but after diving well into and looking at a lot of things they do come made for the masses. Mods and upgrades i've seen to come across that are needed asap are
1. RPG stage 2 bump stops
2. SCT tuner
3. Intake
4. lights
5. exhaust
6. bed stabilizers


now i could completely wrong. And probably am but to protect my truck and get what i want out of it, im knocking all this out in the next few days before hitting the desert. if there is anything else i missed, please chime in and let me know.

Wow! impressive to do it all at once. List looks good. I would say mid-perch is a must. Maybe a bed cover? What brands are you thinking on the exhaust, intake, and lights?

I did rpg stage 2 with deaver springs, mid perch and wheels as my first step. Best decision I've made! The tune from svc made a world of difference and definitely increased enjoy ability.

See below...but if you're not getting 3.0s, mid-perch or the UTVinc/ Geiser Bros springs...first.

1. RPG stage 2 bump stops - yes, if not stage 3
2. SCT tuner - sure
3. Intake - sure
4. lights - do you off-road at night????
5. exhaust - sure
6. bed stabilizers - do you off-road...hard?

Yeah, basically. You move the blue SVT collar up to the next notch. If i were you, with money to spend, i'd get the progressive springs from UTVinc/Geiser Bros.
