    How often do you use your rear locker?

    I use it all the time just because I have it. The only time I actually needed it was the time I remembered I had it but that was after I got over the obstacle. It's helpful for 3 wheelin and when its a little muddy.

    I read over the part that you don't have a locker. So I'd go locker or skids first then do the other one

    Its definitely nice to have. Made it up an obstacle with ease that took a 2nd gen with 35's a hard time that was open-open

    Seems like a locker is winning the vote. Even if it is just a lunchbox locker.

    I've done a mod or two
    Skids, they'll make you more capable. Lunchbox locker would be cool but it makes it less enjoyable to drive on the street with all the ratcheting, clicking, popping. Lunchbox lockers seem to have better street manners when used on a heavier vehicle, from what I've felt. My friends TJ with Aussie lockers is rough, my other friends power wagon with a Lincoln locker is pretty smooth.

    It's a matter of opinion, I suppose.
    Plus, most of the retrofits that I saw were $300 or more. These were 240 I believe. Either way, I'm happy with what I ordered.

    I agree on the skids, + peace of mind since they protect the most expensive parts of our trucks.

    I never had a locker till this summer. Yes it's nice but you may as well save for a selectable one. Much more useful and nicer to have for a de type rig or any rig that sees a lot of asphalt.

    Skids.

    Then tires

    Then get real suspension.

    Then an e locker swap or arb and gears.

    He could, but I heard you had to do some trimming and converting back to a two piece sounds like a challenge.
