First thing you are going to need is a good set of rock sliders to protect the body. Every body runs out and buys a lift then tires and wheels. Then they go out and hit a trail, and damage the body. Ask me how I know. You're going to need skids and I would look at RCI, or bud built. You want skids that run even all the way back to the transfer case. I had to build my own, as I run a marlin tacobox in my Tacoma. Ran over a boulder the other day, and it lifted my truck about 2 ft off the ground. Hooked my winch up and slowly dragged over the boulder, with no damage. then you are going to need bumpers and a winch, if you are going to actually going to run the harder trails. Have fun, and enjoy.

Welcome to mud. Looks like a nice platform to start from. I have kept my runner bone stock as it is my DD, but it is still pretty darn good on moderate trails.
