A complete fluid change differentials/transfer case/transmission/oil/brake fluid/flush radiator/new antifreeze/lube job/check brakes replace pads, shoes and turn drums, rotors.
Those are the most important "UPGRADES" to start with. If you haven't done those forget the rest they don't mean ***** if the basic's are done. I'm not trying to rain on your parade but these are very important to your build.

Free: Removing a shim from my A/C fan clutch to get it working again. 
Paid: $25 for a pair of GE Nighthawk replacement headlights. Or, a $9 cassette adapter so I can listen to music from my phone.

Putco harness upgrade, and I think my favorite mod so far is my rear disc conversion on my 8.25.
In other mods, I really love my 10" LED light bar, heavy duty winch bumper and interior LEDs.

I also didn't use Loctite on the backing plate bolts. I haven't seen that recommended previously. I plan on removing them again eventually when I redo my axle anyhow. I did use blue loctite on the carrier pin retaining bolt, though. And I've seen a lot of people say that it's a 1/4" bolt, but mine was 5/16".
