Well done on your studies!!!

I do have a couple of suggestions for you:
After finishing RTK1, might be a good idea to learn the readings from Kanji Odyssey (KO), as oppose to RTK2. KO focuses both on colloquial usages as well as takes advantage of frequency - so you learn the most frequently used words first and can start reading magazines and books much quicker.

For Grammar I would recommend Tae Kim's grammar guide (free online here: http://www.guidetojapanese.org/learn/grammar). It will get you through the grammar in a very intuitive way. Also, it focuses on what I like to call 'true' Japanese grammar...which is basically casual Japanese. He also talks about polite Japanese but you should start with casual and then learn polite as just another form. Most other grammar guides use the polite form as the base...which would end up actually hurting you...down the road.

Keep it up!!

Well done on doing so many Kanji's sage :) I assume this book is pretty good, guess I'll check it out once I'm ready
to learn them.
How does learning via this way help with reading Kanji like that from KO (thanks for links polywannabe +vote)? I've
heard it doesn't help too much as it only teaches how to read in a specific way..?

Also, did you learn kata/hira first? If so, how?
