One thing to think about with them is that it will kill your wheel bearings so I would get some wider rims instead.
For tinting headlights, you will NEED led's before going on the road at night. I have 6k lumen bulbs which I think work well and don't piss of oncoming drivers, but I also use my fog lights on my bumper.
For painting bumpers and fenders, I did that on my first 4runner. It's either you like it or you don't kind of thing. I liked it then, but I also had massive amounts of rust I was trying to hide as well.
When you'll be looking for lift and tire options (trust me you will) I run bilstein 5100's on OME coils and it works for me. I'd go with 2.5"/3" F/R because you can still get away with stock UCA's. If you want a rear lift cheap I'll be ready to sell my rear "long travel" 5100's and OME springs to you for cheap. 285/75r16 is a good max for auto/stock gears. Wildpeaks are solid and relatively cheap for A/T. Kanati Mud Hogs are really cheap decent M/T tires...along with Milestar Patagonia M/T.

Thanks for the advice, I'll definitely keep that in mind for sure, right now i'm trying to save up enough to get what i need instead of a bunch of small things so i'll be in touch if/when i need that rear lift
for the headlights, did you swap out the bulbs or take apart the whole headlight? I've seen people do both but not 100% sure
