making a tundra more "hunt worthy"

[Jason Snyder]

I would definitely buy an air compressor and some traction boards.

I’d leave it stock until you find a reason to change something. Find solutions to actual problems you have with the vehicle. There’s alway cons to all the pros of altering a stock vehicle. It’s pretty amazing what a decent driver can do with a stock vehicle. And…it always amazes me how much people spend on vehicles to solve a problem that doesn’t exist for their use of that vehicle. An example would be all the overland racks with crap strapped to them driving around town…all the time. Or…a wing the size of TX on the trunk of a Honda Civic….WASTE OF $!!! But hey, at least you look cool, right?

Where exactly are you looking at running this vehicle? Desert, mud, rocks, snow?
Are you sleeping out of it?
Do you really need extra clearance?
Why do you need a winch? If you get a winch, will it be mounted on the front, rear, or both?
What % of actual trail time will this vehicle see?
Will you be towing anything?

lol ya there will be no 10k pop up camper shell on this. I hunt all over the west it’s really a combo of nasty southern Arizona rock roads( where a bit of clearance does help) to late season snowy muddy gummed up Colorado roads. The truck will be used on Highway to get me to trails and trails. Never for daily driving. I’ve killed the winch idea and yes I will sleep in the back

As others have mentioned, a light lift and new rubber would certainly benefit your use case. I think the smallest lift you can get away with is usually the best option. I’m running Geolanders on my Tacoma and really like them for an AT tire.
What about lighting? Up in my neck of the woods, it gets dark fast come fall and is usually coupled with moisture. This makes for low vis conditions as the norm. Extra LED bars are great to see the critters before they step out in front of you on remote roads.

I’d disagree, I’d get the best shocks you can afford. A lot of lifts make your ride worse.

I totally agree on the lighting, I’m sold on my light bar.

High clearance bumpers are a must have along with a winch.

Also add sliders, I had them on my old truck and not this one and it’s super annoying, I have dented predator steps currently .
