    Put the Hi Lift jack inside the truck so the climbing mechanism stays clean and works correctly, just in case you need to use it. You can do that for free.

    Harrop lockers are cool but for the $1,725 they want for one you can get a ARB locker, compressor, and pay for the install. Plus you'd have a compressor to air up tires
