Welcome.  Build in stages and learn to wheel the rig at each stage. You'll be a much better driver in the end than if you just build it all at once.  Here's quick suggestion list:

(1) 4.70:1 transfer case
(2) Aussie Locker Rear
(3) Body Armor
(4) Lift, Tires, Ring & Pinion
(5) Aussie Locker Front + Longfield front axles
(6) Dual transfer case & drive shafts
(7) Long Field Hub Gears, ARB Hub Studs & ARP Knuckle Studs

Some of the step are big and costly, but it works best to save up and do it together.  This is similar to the process I followed building my 85 Truck that morphed into my 89 4Runner SAS.

I think the automatics have a chain driven transfer case rather than the gear unit that goes with the manuals.  I don't know if you have to swap the entire setup or if there is an adapter.  The transfer case mods I listed are for the gear cases only.
