bumblebee, imo, a locker should be pretty far down on your priority list....at least far behind skid plates, rock sliders, and bumpers. If you want to hit terrain that requires a locker, armor is first a must unless you want serious mechanical and body damage. You can go so many places without a locker,anyway, it just takes more driving skill....you'll find that many people advise to run no lockers for a while to become a better driver. I've seen guys in jeeps with 33s and open diffs do stuff i didn't think was possible without lockers and 35's. I went to Colorado last time unlocked and had a blast, and am probably a better driver for it. What put me over the edge for getting a locker is wanting to make the corner better at the mud drags in guthrie center. I like the locker, but be preparted to give up some street handling/drivability if you go with a lunchbox locker.

I'm also considering selling my rear bumper.

Thanks, you don't see many of the outlaw 1's, out there, I got a good deal & ended up really liking them. Gotta love craigslist!

Thanks!

You got a Great lookin XJ, Very nice.
