My 85 Runner project.. opinions please.

I am new to yotatech but have found a wealth of infomation so far. Operating under the principle that two heads are better than one and a multitude of council offers great wisdom; I am posting this thread w/pics to see what ya'll think and where I should take this project from here.
I will be taking the runner to Colorado annually and an occasional trip to the beaches of south Texas. Not a rock crawler but I am not opposed to overkill.
I will be adding a wincher front bumper and wrap/tube style rear bumper.
I have rebuilt the drivetrain, axles and suspension I pulled all the trim and badges and painted it midnight blue tan/brown interior with vinyl floor. Sony deck, amp and kenwood 300W speakers. The specs are in the signature line.
Already thinking about a locker for the rear.

haha, I have an 85 4runner project as well. Except I have a long way to go before I get it running. Re build the engine I got for it, and reabuild part of the drivetrain. Complete break job, major interior work, and maybe a manual transmission swap. see, a long way to go! I'd say put sliders on it, maybe a mild lift, and I second the locker notion. You've already got the bumper ideas I have.
