How do you prioritize what you buy or make first?

This will all come down to personal preference, but I think there are a few things to consider.

What trails do you plan to tackle in your immediate future?
What are the conditions of those trails?
Rocky, muddy, fire roads, jagged rock…Etc.

If you have a stock Rubicon, and you plan to take it through the Rubicon, you will definitely want some armor before you go.

Often times, you will find that Body Armor and recovery points go hand and hand.
Bumpers have shackle tabs or hooks built into them.
Rock sliders become Hi Lift points.
Roll cages become places to attach straps to help keep you up right in a hairy situation.

Because, most runs you ever go on, one of the first requirements will be for your vehicle to have recovery points. The factory stuff is often times junk!! So, most likely, the first piece of armor you buy will be front and rear bumpers.
