heavy duty trailing arms
lockers
sway bar disconnects
HID headlights.

Maybe a little more info on what sort of terrain you want to drive.

Try and stay away from coil spacers, after a while they fail as mine have done.

Two of the best mods you can do is suspension 3-4"s and tyres. For vrery little out-lay you'll have a capable truck.

Then just enjoy learning to wheel and picking your line. You learn far more about positioning your vehicle and tyre placement with a simple setup like this than if you had lockers from the start.

thats the way! best mod you ever did, as for something else im with gujonno mate. learn how to steer well, ive got 4" lift and 32" muddys, quite often i show some of the boys up when out playing even with their 35" claws and flashy blue buttonts! however 35s and flashy blue buttons are in the pipe line

personally id go with some body protection at this stage.
good set of sliders a quater chop and tube rear bar .

no point doing all the other stuff if your destroy the cab.

also a little more height to fit the 35's in wouldnt hurt and if it were me id buy a turbo before id get lockers. makes them a much nicer vehicle to drive........... especially on 35's

Next year sometime, I plan to either go f&r airlockers or a turbo. im still thinking its a long way off but what would most people go with as the mod. i dont mind not being fast but being able to keep up with traffic would be nice.

Outer Limits 4x4 Board
