New Guy needs 86 4cylinder advice

I got an old 86 toyota odometer reads around 300,000 miles curently. I know the poor girl has had her odometer fliped around ten times give or take 100000 miles or so. I was wondering what mods i can safely do to the old war horse?

Depends on what kind of modifications you're thinking about... do you have any in mind at the moment?
How's your engine running?
How's the body?

Welcome! Take care of the engine first. New oil, plugs, cap & rotor, wires, fluids (change tranny, transfer case, power steering, clutch, coolant.) Optima battery. Is it an EFI or Carb engine? Try the K&N Air filter and Flowmaster muffler. 4WD? Trailmaster maked a nice 4" lift. Add some Add-a-leafs to the rear. Some nice used aluminum rims. Mudders (31x10.5xR15.) A GT steering wheel. Steering Stabilizer. Warn winch combo brushguard kit. Pro-comp skid plate (4" lift only) Smitty built rear bumper. Stereo, CB, KC lights and your set!
