rack n pinion steering...beef up trailing arms...lift rear end for ground clearance...very aggressive tires...proper weight distribution,bus trans for strength and lower gear(3 rib) or 6rib for bigger motor and wheelspeed....brace and gusset frame...good belts and or harness...etc

i would leave the front alone and start in the back diff tires adjust the torsion up for more clearance if you dont run buss cv joints do so if its not 2x3 back arms get some of them or 3x3 and get you a turning break but everything from your window fwd looks good

yea you can't climb much if your ass is draggin the ground but if you can take it in the woods its pretty much a woodsbuggy so good luck and have fun ps i used to have a lot of fun with beefed up trailing arm 3 rib tranny and 1600cc motor
