I would put rock sliders near the top of the priority list. Absolutely essential. But again, (per my comment on the bull bar thread) what you modify or bolt-on depends alot on what type of four wheeling you'll realistically be doing.
Moab, for example, has some of the most challenging rock crawling trails in the world. It also has plenty of easy scenic dirt roads. It all depends on what you're going to be doing.
I would suggest hooking up with your local Rover club. Go on some trips with some more experienced drivers. Get a feel for the capabilities of the vehicle & how comfortable you are on various terrain. Also get a feel for how deeply you are looking to get into off-roading. You'll see what works & what doesn't on some of the other rigs.
One of the best suggestions I could make for anyone fairly new to the sport is to ride as a passenger on a tougher trail (rated 8+) with an experienced driver & built-up rig. This will give you an excellent frame of reference for which to assess you're aspirations, potential mods, budget, and threshold for damage.
