sand means big horsepower and low end acceleration, a lift is not gonna help you much in the sand, and actually may hurt you if you plan on doing much hill climbing (dunes etc.) the winch might not be a bad idea, and the roll cage isn't either, however neither one of those are replacements for plain old common sense. Many people new to the sport seem to think that because they have big tires, a winch, and a roll cage, that they can attempt incredibly stupid things. Also don't confuse a light bar w/ a roll cage, they serve two different purposes and a light bar will offer you NO protection in a rollover. Suspension lifts vary greatly in quality and price, some can actually hurt your offroad performance rather than enhance it. DO NOT under any circumstances use blocks to lift your front suspension, they have been known to come out and cause you to be unable to steer...pretty scary stuff when in happens at highway speeds. If you seriously are only gonna drive this rig to and from the trail, Invest in locked diffs, bead locks for your off road rims, a pull pal for your winch, a tree strap, a good quality tow strap (another area that the money is well spent), and some good tow hooks attached to the frame. I don't know if you have a rig in mind that your planning on using, but if I were to shop for one, I'd look at CJ5's or CJ7's aftermarket parts are readily available and for the most part, kits are available for any performance mods you wanna do.
