Number one top priority is tow points front and rear! Nothing worse then crawling around underneath a rig buried in the mud trying to find a place to hook a strap to. I can't tell for sure but don't see any obvious hooks on the front. For the back I see a receiver hitch so you can buy a clevis mount. I do not recommend using a towing ball because straps slip off of them and they hang out too far. In any case having something that you can get too easily is a must. Even if you have tow hooks they are a pain if you have to crawl up behind the bumper to get to them.
For pure capability purposes tires would be the most beneficial, both a more aggressive tread pattern and larger size. For tread pattern I would recommend a mud terrain style if you are going to do any trails at all around here. You are not going to be doing any extreme rock crawling so that means you will be dealing with mud and/or loose dirt. BFG Mud-Terrains, Toyo MT's, etc... have good street manners while still doing okay off-road.
For tire size at least the biggest you can fit on the stock suspension, and would recommend doing at least minor trimming if that means another size bigger. However if you think you want a lift to accommodate larger tires anytime in the near future I would consider going ahead and doing it now. I've seen a lot of people go out and buy tires to fit the stock suspension and then 6 months later decide they want a lift and bigger tires.
Body armor is important, especially on a rig like that. If you want it to stay half-way decent looking go armor now. Once you dent up the rig and rip off the bumpers it's too late.
