Am I missing any body armor?

Over the last year I have been installing body armor on my 3rd gen 4runner. Currently, I have the following:

- Bud Built Front Skid Plate
- Bud Built Belly Pan
- Bud Built Rear Diff Skid
- Lil' Skips Gas Tank Skid
- RCI Lower Control Arm Skids
- All Pro Rock Sliders
- Lotus Rear Control Arm Skids
- Snowbound Customs Rear Shock Skids

My question is, what am I missing? Any skids / protection you all have that you've installed? Curious to know from the community!

I'm obviously trying to built a tank.

Thanks!

I think @clearock will give your tank a run for it's money
Ironically these just popped back into my head this afternoon, if you wanna go crazy with armor there's something else you can add
Never seen those shock skids from Snowbound Customs before, I might just have to snag some of those honestly...

Snowbound shock skids are “cheap” insurance for sure (about $120 a pair). I have scuffed up my lower shocks a bit and had to replace the washers too. Hoping the snowbound skids will help.

Not gunna lie, rear panel body armor is for sure tankesque. Literally looks like tank armor! Never seen these before.
