I am planning to swap in an 8.8 disc rear axle with 4:56 gears.
Also an Aussie locker.
Change front axle ratio from 3:07 to 4:56.
Advanced adapters SYE, with new double Cardan shaft.
3 or 4" spring under lift.
35" Super Swampers.
6 into 2 exhaust header w/duel exhaust side exit, in front of rear wheels.
May use glasspacks with this.
Strengthen roll bar, with front hoop, & frame tie-in's all around.
Also hood line bars, to my stinger.
Build my own rectangular tube, rear bumper/air tank.
Line my tub.
Taurus electric fan.
Build my own on board welder, from an alternator;

Maybe, just maybe I might paint the old heep "Subdued Urban Camouflage" FTW!!!!
EDIT; enigmaverse reminded me that I want to do some underside protection, & a CB radio too.
Re EDIT; I'm now wanting a six into two header, & duel exhaust with glasspacks & side outs in front of the rear tires
Last but not least, Wheel it more often!!!

Being bone stock (accept for a Volant CAI), I got plenty:
1. I'm tossing between 33's and 35's: 33's good for now and the mud, and no need to regear, 35's require a regear.
2. 3" coil spring lift, probably either Teraflex or Rubicn Express
3. Winch, at least an 8000lbs. probably be better off with a 9.5
4. Front bumper: who knows? probably a midwidth, maybe I'll just chop mine down as a temp
5. Muffler relocation
6. Evap Canister relocation
7. Front Skid plate
8. KC HiLights for the hood
and any number of additional crap.
Oh and a CB... thats at the top of the list.

My list changes every time I get on the computer. The basic essentials are this.
SOA using Scout II springs.
Front D44 to match the rear with 4.88 gears and Aussie lockers.
GM power steering conversion
High steer
36" to 38" tires
Rear tire carrier
Im actually pretty close now if I can just find some welding and fab time.
Oh.. I need a Warn overdrive so I can come wheel in the coastal area without having to trailer it. My 4.88 gears do not like the highway.
Basically something like this when its done.

Just reviewing this, & found I've done four of these.
The roll bar, just did it, but still need the frame tie-in's.
The OBA.
The OBW.
The CB radio.
I have the Taurus fan, but still need a high amp relay for the high speed.
Not installed yet either.
66bronco is working on removing a square tube tube bumper from an old XJ he has. I'll just need to trim out some metal & weld it up on the ends, for a tank. May need to relocate or replace the mounting brackets as well.
So six of these will be done soon.
Shame I couldn't use this years tax return for the drivetrain upgrades I really wanted!
