Going to have some spare cash in about a month, which is why I've been on here asking all these questions lol. Definitely getting new tires, I'm thinking Nitto Tera Grapplers, as I'm just an occasional offroader.
I'm on the fence with upgrading my axle ratio and changing from my open diff to a LSD. MY local offroad store told me they can change my 3.31 open diff to a 3.73 LSD for about $1,100. Still need to decide if its worth it to me, because im just an occasional offroader, and dont do anything crazy....I drive around the huge mud hole all you 4x4 drivers are plowing through

Won't hurt the hubs or nothing just running down the road for a little. I'm pretty sure my LockRight owners manual says to never run the 4wd on dry pavement. Not sure who would even do that anyway.
