I think i want to try to do all the classic hard trails in colorado without lockers. Give myself a few years and focus on other mods, and getting the 4Runner built. I want to make sure I can get as much as I can without them before adding them.

Lockers and a regear are an easy mod and huge benefit, just expensive. You can DIY the front and the rear in about a 1-2 days with assembled ECGS 3rd members. Haven't needed to use my Harrop elockers yet, but a 4.56 regear is hands down the best mod I've done to my rig. I also did the 8.2 swap, isn't needed for a GX460 as you already have an 8.2.

I did the 2nd or 3rd hardest trail in the state with just ATRAC and being aired down to 12 psi with my 34s, I even had to use my single use sliders so much the drivers side was rubbing the rear tire and I had to pry it forward.

My previous truck was twin locked I just really want to see how far it can go before the ATRAC runs out.

Also, I have ED+ EBC brake pads and that seemed to really supercharge ATRAC. My pads are noisy AF but they work so well i dont care. I think the front are finally starting to quiet down

The benefit is more the re-gearing. Lockers are secondary and a "while you are in there" thing. Mine have not been turned on yet. Regearing drastically improves the acceleration, drivability, engine braking, and crawl ratio. With 34s, you are probably pretty far under-geared. The rig would be a different animal with 4.56s in it.

I probably wont regear until I upgrade the rear axle.
