if you want to take it in the mud a decent set of all terains are the best place to start, especially if you need new tyres anyway. and if you want to take it through a flood put a snorkel on it for piece of mind.

and in my opinion thats all you need unless you want to participate in extreme rock crawling.

Axle breathers are a good idea if your going wading, they're easy to do and a worth while mod in the long run as they will help keep the water out of your diffs and make them last longer,

If your going to be in a lot of water a snorkel may be a good idea.
