New Pro in CLT

Hello everyone, got a new 4Runner. Picked up an Army Green Pro a couple months ago. Also have an '02 SR5 which has been daily-driven since I got it in '05, with a 3" coil/2" body lift/33" tires added '11. I plan to redo this with proper suspension/armor/etc, but going to start with the Pro. Plan to order sliders in the next few days, and would like some opinions.

I was initially drawn to the 4xInnovations TRD logo sliders, but after considering the "big picture", I don't think they'd be the best fit with the overall plan I eventually want to achieve. So I'm thinking:

-Victory Blitz Sliders
-Victory Full Rack
-C4 Low Pro Bumper w/High Clearance Addition (no bar or full bar?)
-SSO Rear w/Trailgator and side ladder
-33", 34" tires if possible
-Other supporting bits

Unfortunately, I don't think any one brand has the best of each piece, but I do think this combo is functional while keeping a similar aesthetic. Thoughts on individual pieces/combo? Would this be too much weight-wise for stock Pro suspension? Aluminum sliders worth it?

I do enjoy wheeling the '02 at Uwharrie National Forest and plan to do the same with the new one. That said, all this is admittedly overkill for anything I'd prob do with the truck, at least in the near future. But given the work remote abilities we now have, wife and I considering the possibility of taking extended overlanding trips, so not opposed to building it up.

Other than the 4Runners, I also have an '11 BMW 335is with a few mods, and a '90 300zx TT that I haven't driven since '05 when a valve guide broke (leading to my first 4Runner), but that I hope to restore over the next couple years.

Thanks

Welcome, I’m from a bit further South if CLT. After I got a lift and some tires on my 2018 I’ve been to Uwharrie almost twice a week. Take a look at LFD for the upgrades you’re looking for, not saying they are the best out there but they are local so you’d save a ton on shipping. I’ve got their roof rack, skid, and sliders and have been pleased.

Welcome to the Army Green club! Your upfitting wish list sounds like mine. I can only comment on the SLIDERS at this point: I went with RSG, flat, grip tread plate, bumpout, powdercoat, and so far I'm happy:
RSG: I liked the design itself, but several other factors were very important:
Customer Service: RSG responded quickly to my emailed questions. Some vendors never even responded at all.
Promised Install: Simple flat-plate mounts bolted on to the sides (only) of the frame rails. Lots of detailed photos, videos, and install info online. No drilling. No stick nuts. No messing with the gas tank shield, just detaching and re-attaching the parking brake cables. No blockage of drain holes in bottom of frame.
Availability: On the shelf!
Shipping: UPS residential!
Price (February 2020): $874, minus $100 T4R member discount, plus $181 shipping: total $955.
My Experience: 1.) Arrived in just 13 days, despite being warned of possible 3-4 week delay for powdercoating; 2.) Install went flawlessly.
