3. The H2 has plenty of power for offroading. From what ive seen the only way to really get more power is a supercharger and for dependability offroad its not an area i would venture into. More power=more brakeage. Some people have liked results of a programmer for day to day driving.
4. The front "fog lights" are drls.
5. You should always keep the chrome you were blessed with.
6. For rock crawling the stockers actually peform well for what they are. Many people run Toyo m/ts and like them or perhaps a dedicated offroad set of tires would be nice(37in iroks or ssr's).
7. Not essential...i dont have one and have never wheeled with anyone that does have one and the 2's perform well for what they are. That being said, i would like to have one but i would invest on a winch first.
8. Stock works, but you have to bend it back after trips as it will be smashed in--but it does work.
9. Nope.
10. A recovery kit and tools for the trail will be a good start but fabtech HD tie rods are NECESSARY! You can always buy power tanks etc, but to get on the trail i dont think it is necessary.
11. Not sure, dont think so.

All of this is based on my wheeling experience which is east coast rock crawling....never been in mud and i stay away from sand.
