    Air locker ftw. $1500 well spent. Skip all the shitty automatic lockers and jump to the ARB. Been there done that.

    If you look through my build I've done about all you can to a 2wd short of long travel to make it more off road worthy.

    No snorkel because I'm not gonna drive through a river

    No winch because I'm awesome like that and haven't needed one. Another truck and a tow strap have done just fine

    If you wanna play in the dirt then skip the locker and keep your truck stock. For $700 you could pick up an old trail rig to beat on. Then for the $1000 mud tires you will want you can lift said trail rig and get some good used tires.

    Now you have a something way better off road and not beat up on your DD.

    I'm retarded and didn't do that. Plus I just like the way my truck looks and the ability to drive over shit, and have protection from other drivers :D
