Chuck the sway bar.
Cost= nothing

difficulty:nil
time:10 minnys
Advantages: The front suspension will move much more freely when off road.
disadvantages: slightly more body roll when cornering and the steering isnt as tight. although you wont notice it after a few days driving.

#1. open up the clamps on ya springs and weld a bolt on top to allow leaves to seperate a little bit. wont effect handling but will give ya about 2inches more down travel when off road. 2>4 hours depending on arc welding ability and or use of gas torch / oxy welder to heat clamps b4 bending

#2. extended shackles and lowered bumpstops. Lets you get more height to fit the bigger rubber and the stops stop ya from chewing them up in ya guards.

#3. Lip the guards. use a rubber mallet and bend flat all the sharp edges in ya wheel arch. will stop you from destroying ya newly paid for mud tyres.

#4. remove all the carpet and install a loud stereo. Nothing smells worse than wet mouldy carpet. the stereo stops ya hearing all those dad noises carpet usually blocks out.

Mud tyres & rear locker (Any type that's affordable)

I went the air locker (Daily Driver) $1100 fitted but there are plenty of people around who can fit them. Weld the rear if you're really short for cash and it's not a daily driver.

Mud tyres - depends on the brand size etc - Doesn't matter it will still make a huge difference to off road ability (I won't go into tyres - everyone has an opinion which has been covered many times before)

Get rid of the sway bar.
