off road necessities

Just bought my Tacoma and I'm wondering what I should get first for some moderate AZ wheelin. I'm leaning toward a good set of rock sliders. Any other suggestions or advice?

 

Take care of your chassis... Skid plates, sliders, bumpers... anything to keep rocks from your drive line/fuel components. Thats always a first for me. Then get a good bag of recovery gear and some tools... Im a huge fan of the saying 'rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.' As a side note, everyone's definition of 'light' 'moderate' 'extreme' wheeling is different. protect your investment as best you can. If you dont have sliders, then don't try sliding off of boulder!!!

 

Cool. Thanks for the input. By moderate I mean mostly rocky terrain that requires 4wd and a little clearance but not lockers (I'd like my ride to have adequate protection before I go anywhere that extreme).
