For now I’m prioritizing tires and suspension to get it ready for an upcoming camping trip, then installing armor and finishing the build in stages.
If you’re running a similar GX setup, I’d be interested in hearing real world feedback. As well as any accessories I haven't thought of to enhance the build.
