Well first off expect body damage every time out on the trails lol. 2nd I would look at a good flexible suspension that will be able to articulate in tight spots and keep the tires on the ground. 3rd would be driveline, gearing, tires. Definatly lockers front and rear to start off. Depending on what size tires you get will determin what gearing you need. For my truck im gonna run 4.56 with 33" tires. That seems to be the best overall quality for on/offroad driving.
Last thing I would do is bumper/winch combo. As long as you go out with a friend and know the limit of your truck before you tackle obsticles you shouldnt need a winch so long as you are out with other people. I wouldnt pass one up tho if the right deal came along either. At least with a winch you can go anywere and tackle anything and know you can always winch yourself out of a jam. Turn on tlc tonight at 1am and they are having an hour long show about offroading and these guys who are just in it for the fun and that type of thing.
