absolutely nothing just drive the crap out of it until something breaks....which is going to be a long time unless you plan on dropping your truck from a 20 ft cliff

most will say replace the servo but its quite capable and you can waterproof it yourself if you plan on playing in the water. Just replace the bearing as Axial outlined here -> Axial Racing - Axial’s AS-3 Servo Upgrade

only other thing I would do is switch to 4 link front and rear

I've upgraded to aluminum c-hub's, knuckles, and rear lockouts on my G6 its not really needed or necessary.

The plastic is fine for the 4 link. RC4WD just came out with an aluminum 4-link kit for the Rubicon, they states its for the rear but you can use it for the front but you may have to modify it...plus the price you can't beat it

If you do plan on playing in water i would suggest marine greaseing your axles. I have found that stock kits tend to have bearing noises even after one run through water if nothing is done.

16T motor pinion gear
Aluminum steering link set
Aluminum front and rear suspension link sets
Convert the front to 4 link..(You should have the part to do this in the spare parts bag.)
Servo bearing mod
Use a 2s lipo battery
Move the battery to the front of the chassis like the honcho

For anything else just drive it and see how it holds up for you..if you break something easy then get an upgrade.

you will probably have to cut the link to make them shorter for the front
