What should I get/do next?

My setup is in my sig and profile post but I'll sum it up real fast:

2000 taco ex-cab TRD
custom sliders
3" OME/bilstein up front w/ 1" diff drop
63" chevy leaf swap w/ homemade shackles
stock armor
stock exhaust except flowmaster muffler w/ dump tip
hellas mounted on stock bumper
almost toast 33" PC mud terrains for trail (almost new ATs for DD)

out of the following things...what should I get next?
armor (be specific...which skid(s) first? bumper before that?)
bumper/winch
snorkel (shouldn't be next...)
new mud terrains
other ideas?

i don't have the money right away but im starting to plan on what i should do next. so far i'm thinking bumper but I know skids are a pretty good thing to have...

I would go with a rear bumper. The factory one kills your departure angle and the lower rear of the bedsides get crunched a lot.

Then, I would go with a Bubuilt belly pan/skid.

Then I would regear and do a front locker.

Then I would 'wheel the crap out of it and make sure all that stuff is paid off.

Then I would do a front bumper/winch.

If the MT's get too toasted, 'wheel the AT's ...

if you drag your belly alot while wheeling, you should get full skids. if you dont ever drag, you should get some bumpers, prob, the rear one first as you will drag that sooner than you will drag your front bumper. a snorkel is pretty much just bling unless you live in a really wet area. a winch is nice if you wheel alone and you can wheel on your ATs until you save up more $$

1. Skid plate (not sure which ones).
2. Front bumper and winch.
3. Locking diffs.

I can also add manual hubs to the list as I don't currently have those. Thanks for the input...any other opinions?
