If you put in a selectable locker you can still use full time. If you put in an auto-locker than using full time on the street will break parts

Nope.

And those Jeeps got the same gas mileage as the ones with selectable.

In mid-91, the factory ditched the CAD (selectable) even when equipped with the 231 transfer case.

ARB, Youkon, OX, Spartan, Richmond, lokka..... What is your price range. That'll narrow down what you what to buy.
