What has been mentioned many times by those who know, is drive it first and find out what is missing.
So start with good tyres and search for info that has already been posted.

Say you go and do some laning, and are struggling with a certain aspect, for example not getting enough grip, then change the tyres. If you are scraping the sills on rocks, fit rocksliders. Are you needing recovery often? Improve your recovery points. Laning alone? Then a winch is a must. Depends on your budget and what you want to do with the car. If it's your daily driver then do you really want to weigh it down and make it a headache to use?

Couple of recovery straps, jate rings for front and rear and wading plugs all quite cheap but don't buy poor quality, be careful of the front bumper cos if you break it they are about £430 + vat before you get it painted. Maybe go to a pay and play day and watch what everyone else is doing before diving in with both feet. It's great fun.
