CHECK YOUR OIL EVERY FILL-UP. If you don't have service records showing that it has been done, have the 100k service performed, including timing belt and waterpump. Replace all fluids. Owners, Maintenance, and Service Manuals are available under the Downloads section of the site.
I've read here that Kilby no longer is selling their skid plates, but VXKAT is thinking about selling hers. They are really heavy, so if you can wait until the Moab meet in spring, you could pick them up from her there, providing that she decides to sell them. VXorado in Vail, CO has talked about fabbing a set of tube skids for sale. If you're looking to add the cosmetic skids, Rowhard makes them, but get in line, it may take a while. The side ones are only presently available from a Japanese vender, but they are around $520 + intl. shipping, depending on the value of the yen vs. dollar.
I returned my VX back to stock height, so I'd consider selling my raised springs, and oversized off-road tires and rims if you need them as well. Basically, you need to swap springs to raise the rear, and adjust the torsion bars to raise the front.
Most replace the shocks with the adjustable Rancho 9000's. With an option, you can control them remotely from the cabin.
Some people have chromed their fangs, don't quite know if that's what you mean?
The best tip you already have, you found this site.
