Evap and oil/tranny are the ones I would do.

I installed the Rancho Oil cover, Evap canister skid (your pick of manufactuerer) and use the stock skids until they wear out.

oil, relocate the evap. Why put a $100 skid on a $40 part? It is pretty easy to move. Oil and transmission would be on the top of my list.

I only paid 75 for mine, but crap...they can be had for 40 bucks. Why do the mags always say they are expensive?
My guess: to sell people that don't check prices

Sliders and diff covers. Protect your door sills from drops. Sliders with tubes allow you to pivot around trees and rock. Diff covers will protect your gears and will make the difference from a long walk home.

Yes a good set of sliders. I thought he was asking about drive train. Diff covers are also a god idea. Sorry I missed that.
