If you are trying to save money don't worry about buying a rear locker.  Just weld the spidergears and you could save a bunch of money.  Dual cases or crawler gears the thing to do, they will help you very much.  If you have a rear locker, crawler gears/dual cases, and flexy suspension you will doing very good on the trail.  If you put a front locker in then you will be worried about breaking birfields.  If you have the money for unbreakable birfs and inner axles then go for it.

What I should do first is a better question.  We also need to know some stats about the current condition of your truck and how much you got to work with as far as money goes.

Read the first few pages of $300 in the projects section.  I started building a 81 on a seriously small budget and was well on my way to making it a real machine when I changed directions and changed body styles.  Sometimes I really regret doing that.

First and for most to save you a lot of time and money, what are your intentions for it ? Do you plan on driving it dailey, are you going for mudder? for rock cralwer ? sand runner? or a little bit of bolth ?

Why resurrect an 18-year old thread from a 1 post long gone member?
