If you searched you'd know you have a Corporate 9.25" rear

You can buy a full time locker but unless you wheel you won't like it, I would recoment getting another limited slip unit. Some people here have the Aurburn LSD and like it.

you can get another LS which is crap. i better LS like socha said or the best of them all which is the detriot truetrack. if ur looking for something close to a locker/limited slip thats what id go with. or u can get a Powertrax lock right. which is just a locker that goes in the stock carrier like a LS and relaces the spyder gears. or go full auto locker. although ARB is suppost to come out with a selectable air locker by this summer

Yeah if you can wait stick around for the ARB, those are the sweetest lockers you can get for offroad use.

In my opinion ARB's are just an expensive piece of bling. For a front axle, maybe but they're still just to expensive. You can get another locker thats not selectable for 1/4 the price.

I don't think anybody needs them unless they have money to burn, or you building some crazy rock buggy that you want to be able to lock one wheel and turn on a dime.

Kid up here has ARB's front and rear, they're sweet and make a cool sound, but just not economical.
