Arguably, the '99 was the best year. Steve at Sonoran Steel documented that the '99 was the tallest out of the factory. 99s also had several nice choices on interior climate control.

272,000 miles and still driving it daily. Through Rubicon 3 times without 1 scratch or damage. Broke a CV on Slick Rock Road (Sierras) but that is the only carnage in 9 years of wheeling this truck. Hardly destroying it.
I guess it was mostly stock then. Dual transfer cases, locking hubs, Tacoma front sway bar, Shrockworks bumpers... Still looks stock but that is skin deep. North of 265k miles on it now too.
The build is listed in the mods, but it starts with a Sonoran Steel 1.2 and a 1.7 inch body lift (well hidden with the custom Shrockworks sliders). The body lift did make the Shrockworks front/rear bumpers (installed 6 months after this video) a bit more fun to install.
Connor, the build list is pretty accurate, except that a Ford eco-boost engine won't get any closer to this than being in the car parked next to it. Sonoran Steel 1.2 lift and some careful cutting. The 35s rub very little and generally only pulling into a parking lot a little too hot; never wheeling. I did do the Tundra front brake mod in March '17 and the Tacoma front sway bar mod in early April '17 (the most important mod to date IMO) but those are about the only things not on the build list.
