72CSTC5 Hit the nail on the head.

If I was to do it over again thats exacly the way I would approach mine. Another problem you face when doing everything at once is warranty. Because of the time involved you could easily end up shelling out $10-20K for drivetrain, suspension, and electrical parts and find that the warranty is expired before you ever get the wheels spinning. What do you think the dealer is going to say if you have to call them about a defective part you purchased 2-4 years ago but just used for the first time last week. That part could easily be an expensive item like an engine, tranny or rearend.

Replace, repair or modify a system. Then drive it, and work out all the bugs. Continue to repeat as required. When everything is just the way you want it.

Break it down and make it pretty.
