I'm slowly morphing mine into exactly what I want. Modern engine, simple transmission, factory style case with plenty of range options for what I want.
I recently modded the factory roof rack with Yakima cross bars that add aftermarket functionality for camping trips.
Soon to come this year is custom, but stock style upholstery with front lumbar/butt warmers for long trip comfort.
The final touches would be a 2.5" Deaver spring lift, 3.31 ratio axles with Truetracs F/R for realistic light-duty towing/use on any trail I would want to take it down, some form of onboard air (preferably located behind a cargo panel with a smaller removable access cover to the important functions), and a lightweight, synthetic cable winch tucked nicely behind the bumper.
Slowly working toward that goal, but making sure I enjoy the journey with it.
