I did a custom roof rack on my Tundra, super strong and it only cost me $90 plus the time to weld and cut up everything.
Now as for the SC, I would strongly disagree. Besides, broken parts are good. A broken frond diff, for example is a bonafide excuse for a LS diff and maybe a gear change to say, 4.56... :-)) You have to have good reasons to get the mods past the wife!
Oops, totally forgot the SUT factor when I recommended the ladder. I climb up onto my rack a lot (SUV) and therfore can't imagine not having one. As far as the SC advice relative to some of your other decisions I stay buy it. there are a few hardcore (H2) wheelers on this site that have done the same mods as you are suggesting, and they essentially created a money pit and wound up ditching the H2 altogether. I'm not naming names, but ....well they are all talking about mods to their HEEPS now and I feel real sad every time I think about losing these good friends.
