Recovery points, spare parts/fluids, M/T Tires, full size spare, and the right attitude (not being a wuss, scratches and dents happen, deal with it)

all of this would do just fine. on a side note i hate wheeling with people that are scared to get a scratch when they have a very capable rig. it pisses me off and it turns out to be no fun for anybody. be willing to get dents and scratches, it just makes it more fun and interesting

dont worry about armor unless you see rocks. and the first thing I would want for rocks are sliders anyway which havent been mentioned.
I'd just do used 31" tires and recovery points then go from there
