I'm going to set various budgets for modification and I'm interested to see how you would spend it. Sooooo. First off sub 10 pounds, I'd maybe air freshener. Next sub 50 pounds maybe a headlight bulb upgrade. Next sub 100 pounds maybe some under side guard. Now sub 500 pounds maybe tyres. Then sub 1000 pounds maybe a traction aid. Finally over a 1000 pounds maybe a selection of overlander options.
Sub 10 unsnagable Phone charge cable
Sub 50 UV-5 mini uhf /vhf radio.
Sub 100 vintage stereo for the SJ
Sub 500 polish made wide wheel arches
Sub 1000 low gear transfer case gear set
Above 1000 31" tyres
I'd spend the lot (if I had it) on the purchase of a Flux Capacitor so I could go back to a time where I was not expected to swallow quiet so much BS on a daily basis.
Don't worry about it, in ten years time you will look back to now and think fondly of how these were such simple and glorious days. And in a hundred years no one will remember.

In it's place there will be a form of politicians, shuffling about in deep dark underground caverns all muttering "it wasn't my fault".
So yes, enjoy it whilst you can, it will only get worse from the day we lost the cup.
Ha ha ha.
This is based on the things I've done to my own 2003 Jimny:
Sub £10 2wd low-range switch
Sub £50 Replacing vacuum hoses with PVC, routed along the brake lines
Sub £100 Underseat subwoofer
Sub £500 BFGoodrich KM2 (yes I know they cost a lot more than this now)
Sub £1000 Quaife LSD
And I'd like to add a category if I may.
