Diff covers and evap canister skid.
Since you have a Rubicon, I'd also look VERY hard at protecting that sway bar motor with a skid plate. It's not quite as vulnerable as the evap canister, but it's SERIOUSLY expensive to replace.
It'd also suck to bash it while wheeling disconnected, and then not have a functioning front sway bar on your JK for three weeks while you wait for the dealer to get the replacement parts in.

Thanks for the recommendations guys. I'll probably start with the Diff Covers.
What do you guys think about this front one? It's a "glide plate" vs. just a casing that goes around the diff. Seems like it'd work well. http://quadratec.com/products/16238_104.htm
Is there any consensus on which brand(s) are best to go with?
