    I kinda figured that sliders are the most important piece of armor.

    What would you do next?
    Front high clearance, rear hi clearance bumper or skids for underneath?

    My first choice would be gas tank, but that's what I've seen here.

    It's a pricey game that works its way up fast.

    Skids, especially if you like to play in the rocks :)

    Front bumper gives you a lot of clearance as well as a mount point for a winch and good recovery points.

    I did skids and sliders first. Eventually I will get around to front and rear bumpers but for needs, skids and sliders made the most sense and I wasn't about to drop ~10k to armor up all at once.

    After steel skids, a front slimline bumper with a winch, there's now several to choose from for 3rd gen with minimal cutting.
