nothing just throw on a set of muds and go hard.
just remember that she a 2.5t whale ( and thats empty) and once bogged will need an equivalent whale to budge her
rear quarters seem to get nailed on all lwb wagons so just be careful
oh yeah have fun

they are well known for the chassis cracking around the steering box its worth climbing underneath to have a look its an easy repair if its cracked and its most likely the big end bearings have already been done they all failed at 100k and most of those things have all done 300k-500k+ now

If it ain't got factory lockers look at getting a rear locker and some 33"mud tyres or atleast getting the lsd tighten up otherwise the pretty much single spinners
You'll be surprised where it will go and how plush the ride is after driving the old hilux

Centre diff lock just makes drive go 50% to front and 50% rear so when centre not locked power can go more to front or back diff depending on traction so transfer doesn't bind up on grippy surfaces.
