Roof hatch issue, desert trails and more

I have 96 4runner, I need a little help getting my runner back into shape. First problem is that I can not get my roof hatch to open. Second, I want to do some desert trails in Arizona. Nothing like rock crawling. I prefer to keep it stock hight but open to suggestions. I currently run Yokohama tires. I would like to have a good all terrain tire that does well in mud and sand but low road noise. Would also like to upgrade my shocks too. Also, I'm looking for a passenger side running board, back corner end piece. Also would like to find a right rear chrome bumper without flair holes.
