How to make a truck more off-road capable?

Hello! I m wondering if it is possible to take a 2005 Chevy Colorado with very low miles but unfortunately no four-wheel drive and make it moderately off-road capable. Any tips or advice would be much appreciated!

Update:

Tires, Shocks, etc...

    Dual purpose tires and a limited slip differential will give you a lot more grip, but it's not going to turn it into a mud machine.

    Able to drive down a well formed dirt road? Sure

    Cross bottomless swamps of doom with ease? Nope.

    Not really. Only thing you can do is put on M/T tires on the rear. Thats it.

    Dump $2,000 into an old 4x4 K10, Bronco, whatever and throw about $1,000 into tires and suspension. Boom! You just saved a ton of money by not destroying your 2x4 Colorado.

    Depends on what you mean by "off-road." You can drive a Honda Civic around established ranch paths. Technically off-road.
