What 4x4 mods are worth it for Oregon terrain?

I am planning to upgrade my Tacoma for hunting Oregon's backcountry and I'm drowning in options. The mud and logging roads out here are no joke, so I want practical stuff that works

You’re right about Oregon terrain, I swear it’ll test any rig. If you’re building for hunting and logging roads, just start with good tires and suspension. A good set of all-terrains or mud-terrains, a mild lift (2–3 inches), and upgraded shocks make a big difference.

You can also add recovery gear like a winch and traction boards before worrying about bumpers or lighting. I also found out that skid plates and rock sliders are worth it too, especially in the coastal and Cascade areas where things get slick fast

Depends on your interests. If you plan to rock crawl or otherwise tear up your truck every weekend, then the sky is the limit.

If you just want to get in or out of slick roads, maybe muddy, snowy, or icy, and save a ton of money, get some decent tires and a set of chains.

If you're in Oregon, you do need some good tires, all-terrains or mud-terrains. Also don't forget a good skid plate kit and a dependable winch

For forestry roads all you really need is good tires most of the time, and chains if you're going out in winter can be helpful. Carry a shovel and small chainsaw for clearing roads if necessary. Most roads are actually decent even when rough. I've been on these with a 2003 Santa Fe 4x4 and a 2017 Tucson and never had any issues.
