Hi matey welcome to the forum
I would start with some decent mud terrains, you'll be suprised how far a standard suzuki will get on just a decent set of tyres! (i would recomend some bronco diamond backs) and there is nothing worse than putting your suzuki on its side/roof and destroying the body work so an external cage would be my second thing on the mod list! only thing is the cheapest you'll probably find a company to fab up a simple 4 point external cage for would be £350+ unless you know someone who can weld well and has a good pipe bender that is!
There are a few people on the Difflock forum from down your way called the 'devon granite bashers' and they probably know of someone who could fab you up a cage?

Re: hi
if you can do it all your self well worth it.
ie £350+ to have a cage made or £150 max for a welder £80 pipe bender
£120 materials more than enough of lots of mistakes. same cost but when
your seals go or you need to do some think agen or a mate needs one
you have it all quids in the only cost is more materials.
id leve the cage till you do winch as that can be part off it well the bummper can.
the order id do things is
1 mud wheels
2 2"body
3 engine
4 bumpers/winch
5 cage / seats
6 springs ect
but thats me
best place is ebay.
ne way
this one is on you-
