I'd go with the rear bumper first, i have a jcr rear bumper and i love it. plus then for $75 you can get a set of tow hook brackets and still have a front recovery option til u can save up for your front bumper

Not to get off topic but I always thought that tow hooks bent the unibody... Is that true?

if they are mounted right then they wont, like for the rear bumper they use metal strips that go on the inside of the unibody and brace it for about a foot, the front is the same thing

Most people do the front first b/c of looks I think but I would do the rear first too.

Make sure to get the nutstrips for the rear if you don't have them already. Well worth the 30 bucks.
