2003 M13 early KAP build.
3" Trailmaster lift with 1.5 Spacers on front
Customised winch bumper and roll cage
235/85R16 Maxxis Bighorns on 16" Rims, 4:1 Rocklobster, Rear ARB locker and on-board air
Corrected arms all-round, rear disks, Recaro seats and harnesses

I would almost be inclined to put mud tyres on a standard jimny and leave it.
In a way, everything else could be considered as remediation for poor driving.
Rollcage = shouldn't have gone there in the first place
Winch = shouldn't have gone there in the first place
Metal bumpers = drive more carefully and not hit anything
Rock sliders - drive more carefully and not hit anything
I know this over-simplifies things and I have a fully prepped Jimny but I know I have been passed by standard Jimnys happily "floating" over the problem whilst mine flops into the mud and stays there.
My front bumper is way too heavy. It is modified on top of modified so weight has been added left right and centre. It was a basic KAP one without winch facilty. Winch was added by cutting and welding in more metal = more weight. Could go back to trimmed plastic with a hidden winch mount and lighter winch.
Rock sliders are heavy box section, could probably go for aluminium bar for lightness but strength.
Huge wheel mass, all done for looks and vanity
