Also keep in mind how you intend to wheel your rig and what type of terrain because it is a D30 and if you plan to upgrade ......my advice would be to hold off until you get the D44,D60 that you plan to upgrade to because lockers are expensive and for the wallets sake should only be done once unless money is no issue then i say go for it if you plan on keeping the D30, I would recommend gussets at the least. gussets,sleeves and maybe a truss if you really want to beef it up.

I was going to do gussets and sleeves when I regear so that makes sense. And unfortunately $$ is a factor since I don't have a sugar daddy kidding, I'm not that kind of girl. Anyway, I will probably stick with the D30 until I jack it up. I don't do any hardcore wheeling and seriously I like mud better than rocks, but lockers will come in handy on some of the trails here AND I want to do Rubicon next year.

i hate mud well cleaning it off anyway to do the rubicon trails might take more than a locker, one of the first things ( on a long list ) i would upgrade is my axles because the factory ones suck and IMHO the stock u-joints i doubt would hold up ...just my

I'm pretty confident I will be ok with what I have and just need the lockers. Of course there are other things I will do as money permits like dif covers, etc. I have a year to do it all and a long list I want to do! Yay for Jeep mods!

Thanks Killa
