LOCKERS, other mods? TESTIMONIALS? BEFORE AND AFTER STORIES?

Gears and Lockers, Lockers and Gears. Favorite of favorite mods. Everything else is icing.

Ditto. But I have a feeling this SC'r is going to take the #1 spot as soon as I install it.

Undoubtedly lockers made a huge difference, but even before I had my lockers, my fronts suspension helped ALOT.

I never lift front tires anymore, so my front was always working. I'd lift rears, but my front would pull me through. It was great.......until I went to Superstition. Then I got all cross axled and needed a locker. SO now I have alocker in the rear. I feel pretty unstopable. I don't think I will need a front locker for a long time.

Now I need armor

Rear locker and then gears. The locker is the greatest upgrade by far.

I have to agree with the locker. My truck was a totally different animal off-road once I installed the rear ARB. I also like having the TruTrac up front with manual hubs. Beyond that I'd say my heavier Centerforce flywheel made a difference in torque on the 3.0 engine.
