change the engine oil and filter, check the gearbox, transfer and diff oils. Put some fuel in it, grab a water bottle and go and drive it. Thats what i would be doing to her. Dont go doing any mods untill you have driven it for awhile and think seriously about what you actually need. Just drive it for now and have fun.

Good advice actually.

Yes, get to know your vehicle, put any problem right. Have a good look around for a few months doing some serious research....then start thinking about tyres and suspension etc etc
