Can someone take a crack at ranking skid plates from most important to least? I know they're ALL important but, for example, I would think the diff skid would be first since it's the lowest point. Thoughts?

My personal opinion is:

1) sliders
2) engine if auto (low oil pan)
3) radiator (flop 2 and 3 if manual)
4) transmission
5) transfer case
6) diff
7) gas tank

I picked up Hefty engine, trans, t-case, and gas skids from someone who ordered them and traded their truck in for a Jeep before he received them. I ordered sliders next. Then Will (Ripper) sold me his old radiator skid when he upgraded his bumper. I bought a diff cover last. I went in this order because I came across good deals. I think the diff cover is the only thing I paid full price for.
