Is the ruby worth the lockers?
The only thing I wish I had on my X that I couldn't get was the Dana 44 front axle.
Lockers would be nice but I have yet to get stuck, let alone thought, "Man, I need lockers."
But there are times I worry about my Dana 30 front.
If you can pick up a Rubi for the cheap, jump on it, but don't spend a fortune on one for a bigger front axle, lockers that you may or may not ever use, and a better transfer case ratio. I've creeped up and down hillsides with my 3.73 gears in 4-lo and 1st gear no problem.

X2....
Also, the electronic disco would be nice....but with the Quick Disconnects on the market it is not bad to get out of the JK.
I would love to have the 4:10 rear and Dana 44's to run 35's in my neck of the woods. I have been very impressed with my Sahara's off-road capability!!!
