I just purchased a 2006 LX 470 stock no nav and no kdss. Everything is functioning correctly but Im uncertain about when/if the timing belt and water pump were serviced(current mileage 141000). Im looking to get into overlanding and I am curious about what aspects of the vehicle to upgrade first. I know I would like a 3 inch lift with 33 inch tires, full roof rack, steel bumper with winch, and armor. What would be the most sensible order to go about upgrading and also what other upgrades should I be considering? My budget will be about $300 a month over the next 3 years.

I was under the impression navigation came standard as well as AHC, which I assume you are referring to as KDSS, on 2006-2007 LXs. Post some pics please. Very curious to see this rig.

@Brokeback with a name like that and this crowd this should be entertaining. Welcome to the show 
non-nav 2006+ you lucky guy!!
Sure it's not a Montero?
Drop the running boards (unless the 
needs them),
Upgrade the tires (AT or MTs since you're in TN),
Then add a lift (see Slee Offroad, Cruiser Outfitters or other vendors on Mud)
Plan your trip and have some fun!
In fact, you don't need to do the last 2 since you can go most places in stock form.

I did some light trail riding yesterday with highway tires on and I was shocked how well it did on loose stuff with steep inclines. Excited to see what it will do with some proper tires on it.
