ORV Build: What would you do diff?

Hmmm...I use mine for trail running here in Nevada now,and don't do rock crawling. My '94 came with factory limited slip(still working) and 3:73's.I'm still using 31's on it,and plan no changes there.The 3" body lift does make access for repairs on various components easier as Gman pointed out.Mine is not a DD either, but does get used on occasion to keep the battery charged and fluids circulating.I love having dual tanks-which gives me alot of wheeling time out here without worrying about fuel.(can be long distances between fuel stops)
I am also planning on buying/building a rear spare carrier bumper.There is paint work to also finish when the funds finally permit that.(job transfer before it could be done)
I am very happy with how it performs here,as it has gone everywhere I wanted it to go.

How you are going to use your rig should determine what needs to be done to it.

I'm going for a mildly built D/D. There aren't any close trails so I'm only going to get to wheel a few times a month.

I didn't want to limit it to just my style rig cause I was just curious what people had to say, from their own build experiences.
That is why I asked for people to list their "hardcoreness" however, because, for instance, I don't see a front locker or 35s or D60s in my future.
However, there may always be some good ideas to get from guys w/trailered in rigs, even if I'm not shooting for the same kind of finished product.

Dual tanks and a rear tire carrier would be epic to have, by the way.
 






Any more?

I'm keepin' on keepin' on with my build. More parts bought, more dreams being dreamed.

I'm steadily adding to my arsenal of parts to install. So, any more good ideas out there/regrets/wishes for a "do-over"?
