I’ve got the Firestone mt/2s on right now, and I love them. A little rough when going slow on the pavement, but I haven’t gotten stuck because of the tires, only because I beached it on a rut.![]()

Since you are planning on spending $$ on bumpers, DO NOT add the Mopar rear!
As stated by @The Last Cowboy, ""the rear one is notoriously weak"".
Hit this forum link to read some of the links about this well-known issue. Invest that money in something like the @Metalcloak Rear Bumper which is specifically designed to help eliminate the rear from flexing up-into your JP's body.

I did keep my front metal Mopar and added a winch. No problems. I did, however remove the ends.
As to this question, "also what would be the best order to do the mods in?"
AND after this statement, "very little rock crawling",
AND if the budget only allows for 1-3 mods a year,
I would go with the:
-Winch/Front Bumper to help with self-extraction as my first expenditure from your list. Most of the terrain you showed was mud.
-Second, IF you don't have some RT's or MT's on her, AND you are OK selling off the existing tires B4 they are worn out, buy those 35's!
I did more "protection" before I bought new tires, but I do more crawling than mud.
At this point your budget is probably $3000 USD's poor-er.
GL on your build and HAVE FUN!

they are amazing when they are actually touching the ground lol
if I’m going for a non oem bumper, I want a full width one as the Canadian forests are full of wildlife that would be more then happy to take a tire off from an impact.
I was actually thinking the quadratic QRC bumpers as it looks like I could make my own upper+fender guards with not too much issue, ideally I’d have an aussi style brush bar front like this:
might look a little weird on a jeep, but hey, someone should try it
it’ll be heavy as hell, but I want to try it out
