Sounds like your pretty much there before you start breaking things on a regular basis and will be able to go places bigger 4x4s on 35s can't
Apart from your list of stuff you want the only thing I would suggest is a rocklobster transfer box to drop the low box and sort out the gear ratios.
Rockwatt in the traders section is these guy you want to talk to about that he builds them for a good price and his work is to top quality. All you need to do is send him a 410 and 413 tbox.
Are you going for an internal or external cage?

yeh i went around some woods and it went pfft to everything i put it through! i got stuck once and that was thick mud that completly coverd the wheels and up to the floor which is 2.5ft, i did eventualy drive out of that took an hour to do so but i had no help from anyone else which im quite proud of
ill be making up my own external cage, just need to find some good materials and ill be rolling around all over the place

I wouldn't trust kwik fitters to make me a cup of tea. They'll employ anyone with opposable thumbs and arm all of them with a hammer.
I've never seen someone fit Pirellis to a LR 16' with a sledge before........

Possibly, but it looked to me like he couldn't be bothered to lift the rim onto the machine, as it was the one he'd taken the tyre off first, then taken the other off, rather than doing one at a time.
By the way, he wasn't swinging the sledge, he was using it to push the other side of the tyre on while he stood on the one side.
