300 bucks to spend. What to buy for 87 4r!

throw some suggestions at me!!

Sliders I'm thinking AOR or all pro.

Rear bumper trail gear.

Locker, aussie, grizzly, or spartan.

Or a warn winch! with my employee discount at napa I can get the M8000 for 565 and split it up between 3 or 4 pay checks.

Or AOR has the smitty built 8000lbs on sale for a good price.

Or also at my work I can get some KC day lighters 6'' for like 90 bucks I think.

Or I can set up an on board air system with an ARB compressor and a 5 or 10 gal air tank.

Or i can save my money for christmas presents.....nah

Just waisting my time on my couch....to many decisions

I'd say a spartan locker, it will get you the furthest!

if your dead set on moding, do the on-board air with arb compressor. that way your already set for when you save for a proper locker. with auto lockers, i've never heard 100% positive feedback toward anything but a detroit, at which point a selectable (arb) isn't too much more.

then again, i wont do that till i have my sas, tires, and for that reason, gears picked out so diff only has to be set up once. and while its apart that far i might as well do my rebuild, dual cases, ah hell remove all drive components so new paint will be easier.

300$= an eighth-milestone toward what will really help

if its burning a hole in your pocket, peow has the best idea

Or you could save the cash, save more, buy another 4wd so you're not beating up your DD.
