Maybe not in priority order but shade when camping is needed and side awnings are so easy to use. My #1 favourite thing.

Side awning. $200
You only need a set of roof racks to mount it and they can cost as little as $100
Fridge although you can get away with an esky and ice for a couple of days
Dual batteries, yes, but only if you have power drain items like a fridge
Tint, for everyday coolness
Maxtrax. Your stockie will get bogged a lot in sand.
Save the rest for diesel and go away more often

That's all good advice but I'd probably leave out the diesel...

go the compressor, 4wheel driving is all about tyre pressures and momentum

And wheel placement, get those three right and you will get past most obstacles.

If camping's your thing, the rear door table can be a pretty handy bit of kit, and won't break the bank...

Looking at the posts above everyone seems to have covered the first 5 of the $1000 you can spend , I always like to take stuff I will never need so I would make a spares kit , including hoses , belts and clamps etc .
Its always nice know youve got spares its cheap piece of mind.
