Mods all depends on budget and what you intend to use it for.
A good first mod is some 215 MT tyres. If the arches are rotten a virtual lift is easy enough. Snorkel?
Some good recovery points. CB radio,

As you've confirmed it's Chris' old SJ, I'd recommend going out for a play in it first. I went to Parkwood 4x4 at Tong, near Bradford with him once, and it was a very capable SJ. Most mods are 'cos we want it to look a bit better and because we enjoy doing the mods.
The performance of SJ's even in standard form is pretty impressive.

Its injection, so no carb issues.
Only real mods to contemplate are suspension and tyres. Bigger tyres need lower gearing and more power.
Bigger tyres put more stress on axles so full float and strengthened axles.
Armour? Bumpers, diffs, transmission, roll cage?
Take it for a play a few times and see what you personally want to improve.

regarding the oil seal, they cost next to nothing, and are really easy to replace, may take a novice a few hours, but is easy enough. just take off the drum, take off the back plate, pop all the parts off the axle, might need a slide hammer to get the half shaft out, take out the oil seal, and repeat in reverse order
