good ole' Manassas VA

I have a 3rd gen and just picked up a front skid.
Which of the 2 skids is the next most important skid after the front and why?
Thanks

I don't own either yet, so I'm not going to be much help.
But I was wondering if the manufacturer requires one before the other?
I guess that would depend on how &/or if they bolt together.

id go with a trans skid first, that way theres no hangup spots between 2 skid plates. and the transmission probably costs more to fix if damaged ha

I have a t-case skid and Id recommend it, at least on the 04 the t case is more susceptible to getting hit. Its already saved my ass once
