    If I only had unlimited funds, I'd do it all to this KJ. And get a JKUR and do that one too, with a teardrop behind it. Stupid bills...

    Just because a KJ isn't a rockcrawler deosn't mean that a locker can be handy on muddy roads, soft muddy grass etc.etc.

    I use Detroit lockers in the rear that way I can get use from my locker every single day, snow, dirt, mud, gravel, pavement, grass. I'm not paying $1000+ for a selectable locker I'll only get to use once or twice, I want something that'll be there when I need it in a split second all the time without hampering me on grippy trails.

    But a Detroit or Yukon Locker isn't the choice for a short wheelbase KJ that sees much snow unless you have some less aggressive winter tires.

    So overall, I'd also skip it and stick with what you have, and put a Warn M8000 up front.

    I have a short wheelbase, a lwb suzuki samurai.
    Doing an automatic locker in the winter is funny. It's funny how easy it is to spinn out of the road.
    I want to know when my wheels are locked or not..

    I am a big fan of selectable lockers and can't think of a better investment. Once you have one you'll wonder how you got along without one before (oh , yeah, a shovel, leather boots and a bit of work). Really though, a selectable locker is a great way to go (and solves the problems created by a full time locker, the best of both worlds). A winch is fun but my opinion is a locker first, it will see more use (a few seconds here and a few seconds there to help you on your way). You seem to have made the most of your Liberty and this is a good way to improve its ability in less than ideal situations.

    It's not about the truck and it is not about the distance traveled. Get out there with whatever you have, meet people and see things. Push the envelope of your comfort zone and live.

    Sounds like you should keep your current setup and spend your money elsewhere. Some of the items you mentioned can be transfered to a different vehicle if (and when) you decide to change. You're lockers will most likely go with the liberty and won't really add value to it when you do sell it.
    Good driving technique will get you nearly as far with your current vehicle as any locker will, especially give the terrain you're planning on travelling.
