Locker hands down. my long arm kits comes in handy way more in the rocks, but in just mud and terrain and sidways driving (85% of most trails) a locker will come in much more handy. dont get me wrong i love my long arm, but a locker is better for the money

Looks like you guys had an awesome time. Wish I could have joined in. I will have to do a walker trip with you guys sometime this year.
To answer the locker vs long arm question I would say if you already have a winch then long arm first. Your jeep will ride and flex better and will want to go over obstacles more easily. Plus it is fun to wheel open axles, sometimes a locker just makes it too easy. As long as you have a winch you will always be able to make it past any obstacle.

But then again I'll agree with bill, you've got a winch so long arms will also do you good...
