The same day that I purchased the vehicle, I had the following parts on order:

Wet Okole Seat Covers
OME Shocks/Springs (881/890)
285/75-R16 BFGoodrich A/T

I was amazed at how comfortable and capable the truck became with these modifications. It drove around town and on the highway like a brand new vehicle, and was very capable on the trails (especially given my lack of experience).

I have now been driving the truck daily to work for roughly 6 months and it has been extremely reliable and a ton of fun. I have taken it to the trails as often as possible and have had a blast every time. I haven't enjoyed a vehicle this much since the Ducati Monster I had in college.

I recently installed a 4Crawler 1.5" body lift and polyurethane bushings to replace the stock bushings which were completely disintegrated. This cured a minor 'shimmy' the truck had on the highway.
