Oops! I was checking frequently at first, but with low activity, I didn't check often to know you posted.
I'm still new to off-roading and I cheated compared to those really into it and experienced in what fails and in doing modifications, so I'm not the best one to ask about modifications except I know tire choice goes a long way in capabilities.
A friend who once worked with me was always breaking parts on his truck and replacing them with heavy duty and even after he got it very reliable, he installed an under hood welder because there is still always the possibility of things breaking. That and it was also the extremes of the way he would drive and push the limits.
I say I cheated because I haven't put in all the years of mishaps and breakages and replacements and modifications as my friend. I cheated because instead, I simply bought what was already tested and proven and even off-road race proven by the manufacturer.
Reliability is so high that I expect I will not gain experience with failures. I do my own mechanical work and the quality of the parts are impressive and they are built to last and not fail.
My vehicle was getting a lot of looks from a small crowd that gathered when I went to a hot rod show. I was just parked and not part of the show. One of them asked me what modifications I've done. I said the manufacturer already figured all that out and there isn't really anything left to improve because they already did that to the highest extreme. It's off-road race proven in the TransSiberian by beating all competition by a lot! No need to change a thing.
Having cheated that way, I have no experience with modifications. But, I am a strong advocate of supplies for the situations and trips you plan.
