Get all these done first for mechanical piece of mind before splashing any cash on modifications.
You could spend a few hundred quid on a lift kit for example then find 20 miles later your engine packs in for lack of a good service and you'll have need for the money spent on the lift kit.

a good service is all that is needed but cant see why you would need to spend money on all the bolt on crap if landies dont need it if it did it would be factoy fitted :behindsofa:

Are you gonna off road it ?, if not you dont need any mods, maybe a good set of AT tyres is all you will need
