    If you do a lot of wheeling alone,go with winch first. It will save your ass. Winch, armor,Locker.

    Armor, winch, locker otherwise.

    Not the case... I have gotten stuck plenty with my two earlier Tacomas and my other 4x4's... Been four wheeling since 1975 in my vehicles, and since 1965 in dad's Jeep.

    It is my 2010 with A-TRAC that refuses to get stuck...

    Here was a fun trip when my truck was just 6 months old:
    http://vivabaja.com/msm2010/

    I have posted many photos here on TW of trips to Baja and Borrego desert...

    Here we go again.

    Anyway: Locker first, DavidK is right for once. It has a hell of a lot of uses. You can wheel some fun stuff with a locker and you can use good judgement and driving skill to avoid taking body damage.

    Alternatively, body damage is also easily dealt with by not giving a fuck.

    Follow the locker with sliders. Skids next. Winch last.

    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.

    The reason I said locker first is so you don't have to use so much skinny pedal to get over obstacles. i think you would cause more damage having to punch the gas to get over a rock. Maybe Sliders and a locker at the same time.
