make ya some front and rear bumpers
weld your diffs (free lockers)
but a roll cage in
did i ask if you can weld? if not....learn! then get a welder.
make a set of beadlocks
there's millions of things you can do but it really depends on your funds for one and your skills for another. also what do you plan on using your truck for primarily?

first, go to home depot, buy some wood, then build a garage.....then go to harbor frieght and buy a welder, and the book"welding for dummies", just messin with ya, your truck looks pretty straight outside, but i see your in alaska, they probably have some pretty nasty salt for the roads up there, whats your undercarriage look like?? you could replace things like, bushings, mounts, shocks, and while your doing that clean off the frame and stuff, then spray some kind of undercoat on it.....unless yours is already done or clean, that should give you something to do thats cheap and protects your ride, and it doesnt require a shop to do it.........

I would suggest cutting the fenders to clear the bigger tires. Also, I would say put a hitch on the front and get a clevis. this way you have a tow hook at both ends. 
A way to get yourself (or others) out is pretty essential offroading. It can be handy on road too, when you pull little old ladies out of snow banks
