BUT!!! my buddy in his wrangler with 6" lift, 33x12.50's, and arb's front and rear (go military money) is only slightly more capable! seriously, clearance and grip from lockers asside- there have been like 2 or 3 times this summer when he could get there and i couldnt... and if i beat the **** outta my DD like he does his, then that number might have been down to 1 or 2


**** yeah!

Well, with buying my Jeep, and everything I have into it, it probably only adds up to maybe 2k and its probably less then that... But my Jeep is worth more then that (probably closer to 4k) in my opinion. I am the type of person that finds good deals, and makes them better deals. I am also the type of person that trades stuff a lot (like trading my low tread 35s on wheels for a set of new tread 33s on wheels)

A budget build locker is more like a lunchbox locker or Lincoln locker.
