Thanx 00t444e.... Yes, I was looking at air or electric lockers.. Can't decide really yet. I do plan on having a compressor in the Jeep to air up my tires, so I guess it would make sense to go the air route....?? I was going to have Yukon gears installed, proper gearing for the set up, I am assuming I'd have to go the Grizzly route. I'm just like holy crap everything adds up so fast, and it's like all or nothing... haha
Perhaps you should delay your build for a while longer until you can afford everything? If not, I'd say don't get diff work twice. Leave the re-gear alone until you have the locker(s), and get that done all together. And IMO, do not put an auto locker in the front axle. Many guys will tell you it's okay, but it could cause you a lot of grief in the winter time. been there, done that, regretted it.
