For many of these there are cheap options, high end options, and middle ground. It also depends if you will be doing your own labor, and if so, whether you have the tools already. I would estimate $10-15K.

Baseline for that estimate:
Front bumper/hybrid bumper-C4 $650 with shipping $800.
Rear bumper w/ tire swing out (ability for dual swing out later)- CBI $2400 with shipping $2600.
Rock sliders with top plate- RSG $800.
Winch w/synthetic- Warn Zeon 10S $1342 Amazon.
Suspension- Icon Stage 2 $2650.
Upper control arms- SPC $630.
Dual battery system- Genesis Offroad $529 plus batteries. Or get with Overland Power Solutions for something more comprehensive - kits are around $1700. Or just buy a Jackery 500 for $500.
Roof rack- SHERPA ROOF RACK…$1000 with shipping $1200.
20inch - 30inch light bar- Heretic Studio 30 inch $650.
Awning (with back hatch open)- OVS Nomadic 180 $700.
Jack- Powerbuilt 3 ton $65.
Rack storage system varies based on plan.

Also budget for recovery, first aid, fire extinguisher, camp kitchen, Zoloeo/Garmin InReach...

If your not planning on “wheelin” and going over 3” of lift control arms are not needed . 1” body lift and 1 step up in tire size will take you a lot of places . How much stuff do you really need ? Focus on the essentials first , comfy sleeping , basic maintenance and camp accommodations before you start worrying about real off-road needs . Light bars , bumpers and extra do dads won’t matter much if everyone sleeps miserably and ends up hating going out .
