Swaybar depends on the driver. Some people describe the truck as undrivable without it others say no difference. If you hoon around you are going to miss the sway bar but normal driving its barely noticeable. I built disconects for mine and as it was so grotty at the end of a trip I didnt put the spacers back in. It was 2 months before I remembered. For the stuff you intend to do the muds will get you through with no other mods but a small lift down the track a year or so will be an improvement. Then lockers etc as you can afford.
At the end of the day you already have a solid truck that doesnt take that much to make it do what you want. It does have a highish milage but second hand motors are easy to get and not that expensive. You can get more capable trucks but they are going to cost more than the cost of mods and some of them do have reliability issues that you have already fixxed on your current truck. Its also not as big a loss if you have a big opsy off road that 12000 of jeep etc.
If you had been wanting to do hard yaka then the advice would be to get an already set up bush truck of any brand and go for it but expect to pay 20k plus
