I would say get a locker for the rear first. A front locker is nice, but with IFS you will be breaking axles. Maybe save that for when you do a SAS. After some lockers, then get some lift kit or get some lower gearing like a Crawler. It will save your clutch and you will have alot more control and traction on the rocks :thumbs:

Come on Mike, you say to save the front locker $$ for the sas then you tell him to get a lift kit?  I think you need to go to sleep!  Id get to know a sawzall like a long lost brother and be shoehorning 33's on it w/no lift!  Just think lower, more stable and cheaper.

 Hey littleswamper! I would beef up the rear axle with cromolly axles from marlin crawler or allpro then i would do a rear brake disc conversion and uprgade all brake stuff, then get a cool front bumper, rear bumper, save your money for an sas uprgrade, install a marlincrawler, budbuilt crossmember, some engine mods? no or yes? beef up the steering and front axle after the sas, add a rear locker and the front locker can wait, then get a lift and bigger tires or get a sick suspension uprgrade aNd bigger tires! Good luck with your toy. :idea:

My daily-driver/pizza delivery truck is chopped, cut, and taped together.  Uniqueness is more aesthitically pleasing than show and shine.

first thing rear locker like a aussie or powertrax.traction means everything.
2nd thing rock sliders.dont wan that runner all beat up right away.
3rd thing since your running ifs cut down the lower bump stops and get low profie uppers.rear control arm truss.idler arm brace.
4th up get rid of the rock anchor crossmember an get a budbuilt or simaler.high center sucks trust me.
5th wheel the thing and put some dents nd scratchs in it.remember they add character :thumbs:

if you decide to wheel ifs for any period of time get a ft skid that starts in the from and goes to the rear of the control arms or you will bend the mounts on the frame.
