Trim your fenders. You'll probably have to to fit 32s.

Fender trim is a good idea and free!

My vote go towards skids, protect those important parts

Take your stock fenders flares off and bust out the cutting tools pretty easy

97+ you will have to relocate washer bottle its in the inner drivers side fender, search google, tons of info (measurements etc), mask the area above with tape it will help, and let the blade do the work if you force it along you will create excess heat.

Bumper/winch, is my vote. Learn to wheel with out a locker, when you get one it'll make you better.
