Yes to fit or not fit extras - They are not really needed as I drove for years without then - On many of those occasions I wish I had them.
Lift - Needed if you do lots of sand work, rocky roads and muddy tracks. Trick is not to go too high to make the road impassable for most other 4 x 4's - too many these days are doing silly lifts that should only be used for competition and not on everyday tracks.
Tyres - Tyres to suit what work you are doing is
well proven and needs no explanation
Lokkas - As for point 1 - when you have them it makes it so much easier to drive and on the car - to me I will always have them now. As suggested you need to get the experience without them to start. Without them you will learn to drive a 4 x 4 the way it should be. After that all the add on's help you to do it better and safer.
Snorkel - Never had one of these for years and have seen many a bad fitted one cause motor damage. Now I have one I can say they are good - I do not believe they will add any power to your vehicle, much like a hiclone. If fitted properly they will keep the water and dust out and as such are worth putting on.
In summery - Extras are not really needed for general 4 x 4ing. If you go more extreme you still do not need most of them but you have to take your car to and sometimes beyond the limit to get through. Get your experience driving without them for a while and then fit them as required to make it easier safer to drive and also a lot easier on the car.
Have Fun @ Cheers Tony
