Next what about a decent set of wheels I keen I am not goin to be doin mad 20' drops an stuff but may hit a jump or too.

A used rockshock recon or similar with the air spring (easily tunable if you continue to lose weight) is probably the cheapest option. if you want a stiffer fork to go bigger look at the xfusion trace or suntour shocks with 34mm stanchons. As far as tough wheels its hard to beat Stans Flow Ex for bang for the buck especially since there is a new model out and shops are trying to clear out the existing ones.
