We have done couple of long trips to russian side with one car, so no recovery. Next time with a winch, hi lift and spare tire and more gaso
no rock crawling for this jeep and i dont know too much about finnish off road scene. Mainly focusing this for expedition use. Eu laws are quite tight about modifying. More lifted/bigger wheel cherokees are impossible to get registered in here.

Lockers would be a great thing to have for yourself. Front and rear.
If you can get away with trimming your fenders you can fit bigger tires, if you can't drive on road with larger tires just get an extra set.

You have quite a few for the front. Not too many for the rear, since you've got a D35.
Powertrax is a common one, ARB is great (I have for my rear) but they are expensive. Search a bit, it really depends on what your looking for.
