I agree, some Old Man Emu suspension, lockers, gears to match your tire size, whatever modest but tough tire you want to run with a matching spare and wheel on! Anything else you want depends on your region, terrain, how far you have to drive without fuel and weather. I think and onboard shower system would be a huge asset for extended backcounty treks.

I set up an '86 with a flatbed last year for work in Montana where I have to drive overland in the middle of nowhere. I ran BFG all terrains in 33x9.50 and a set of 34x9.50 tsl swampers when the gumbo gets soupy in the springtime... Gears were 5.29s and I had a rear spool for simplicity and a aussie locker up front. It worked great. Air conditioning would have been nice though to keep the dust off my laptop...
