Front bumper - tnt customs. Awesome company.

Sliders - aj offroad. Total hunk of junk stay far away from there.

Front and rear tube fenders - hooligans offroad engineering

Rear bumper - myself

Fully belly skid - myself. Tnt customs makes a bad *** one that I want so bad.

I picked up the dirtbound offroad do-it-yourself winch bumper for $200 to my door during a sale. it's not installed but it's a good price and I can build off it
2x6 rocker replacements are unbeatable for your rock slider option if you can fab. also on my list

Start with a belly skid and rock sliders in my opinion.

I run a front winch bumper and sliders from rigidco. And a jcr offroad Gastank skid. The front bumper is held in by 26 bolts. And the sliders are held on by 10 bolts on each side. And the lowest point is flush with the bottom of the pinch rail. I have a bunch of pics in my build thread

what armor do you guys use?-image-679090885.jpg

Rustys Offroad sliders... Decently priced. Easy to install and they have taken a beating.
