We have been doing our 4runners at almost the same pace for the same amount of time! I started tearing my 4runner down August of 2006. I just wish I could have had a lift to use, would have made things go a little smoother 
I still have a ways to go with my truck too. Are you going to do an exocage or an internal?
An internal cage that i recently got from
www.4xinnovations.com and i'll probably tie the rock sliders into the front and rear bumpers.
