Yeah, my bad. I was thinking with new gears too, as nobody would throw in a set of lockers and not regear... but then I wasnt thinking about the "on the cheap" part either.

Well in my B2 I have hubs that unlock so in 2wd it isn't doing anything, even with the hubs locked and the t-case in 2wd the locker still can't lock since there isn't any power going to it. I was actually refering to driving in 4wd in the snow. I kept hearing people say a front locker will put you in the ditch and you can't steer, blah blah blah. So when I actually started using my rig in the snow I was pleasantly surprised at how well it drives.
I made this video to demonstrate that it handles just fine.

Thank You Sir!

He said a $1000 in upgrades... not complete package. Pay attention!!!!!
Yeah, a Rubicon would be a great choice for you. You literally don't have to do any mods and you have an extremely capable rig. About the best thing you can do for them is a little lift and larger tires to gain some much needed ground clearance.

Kudos to you for making it at all, no matter your rig. When I was there last it took more driver skill than rig capability.

yea forsure its skill. i used to have a built cherokee but i got rid of it for the fullsize cuz its much more fun. cadillac rock is still pretty damn hard though.
in the next few months ill have a long arm with kore spring and leaf pack or chevy 63s. 37s and 5.13s. and much better armor. im still at stock height and i put some military 37s and they looked small so maybe a little bigger.
