Which skid plate first
Well I'm running a 2012 Jk unlimited sahara which I lifted 2.5 inches and we are wanting to go off road hunting some coyotes on the ranch and do some mountain trials. So was wonder what skids I should do first

I went with a muffler and sway bar disco skid first. I know a lot of people will say the muffler skid is stupid but i wanted to leave the stock exhaust alone and on the 2012's there are no seprate manifolds....the exhaust manifolds are cast into the heads.....i didn't want to come down on the muffler and possible break the exhaust off the heads.......
and the disco seems to be a pretty expensive part as well.
Then after that i did a winch and front bumper.....

I agree with EVAP Canister
The EVAP is really in a bad place on the new 2012's.
The one on my '93 YJ is up by the Master Cyl., why it
was moved is anybodies guess... I'm figuring they made
it to big to fit in the engine compartment...
If you Damage or rip it out from under Your rig your
going to have the Comp light for check engine come
on...until you get it fixed/replaced. And Your Jk will
run like crap.
Just my 2cts.

evap skid? really?? 
not only do the 2012's COME WITH a good skid for the evap, even if you were to take it out, it's not like you'd be left high and dry. you can drive just fine without one, trust me, i've knocked mine off my 2007 three times over the last 5 years and only had to replace it once. seriously, this or a muffler skid are NOT needed.
to the OP, if you have an automatic, i would recommend that you protect the only things that DO NOT come protected from the factory: 1. oil pan 2. transmission sump pan. between the two, there is a transmisson line that is just itching to get ripped out. i would recommend a skid system like the evo protek. this will cover all the vital areas that are not protected from the factory.
