$300 to blow: suggested options?
My loving wife gave me $300 to spend on my truck. trying to figure out what to do with it. I am sure somebody on here has some suggestions.

^ haha, don't forget the spinner hub caps.

Really though, the Spartan locker seems to be pretty good and has gotten some good reviews.

Hands down Aussie Locker. Do you have a 5speed? If so just clutch in around turns. If you have an auto I think i'd spring for a TruTrac instead.

A locker as long as your truck is fully tuned up and doesnt have any mechanical issues.

A locker isnt very cool when your truck is broken down sitting in the driveway

Do you already have a header? Exhaust? Good clutch? If you look hard enough you might find a used solid axle around that much,but then you'd still have to get all the hangers and whatnot.
