And potentially skid plates
Agreed. Wheeling was an incredibly stressful experience until I had sliders and skids. I actually enjoy it now
I still rock the OEM skid plate and undertrays. I've been under my truck a lot and don't see a need to change them at all. Seat time and pick your lines. 100 series is the best.

Still enjoying the super charger? Any regrets with it? I'm still sitting on the fence of sc my hundy at 400k miles or throw in my hat and get a 2hundy.
It's the best! Put about 30k miles on it so far. Gonna change the SC oil soon.
Lockers will take you where only a winch will save you. You don't need them until after you're fully infected with the illness.
Get some sliders, good recovery points/starter recovery kit, air down and don't wheel alone. Have fun.

My truck is triple locked … once trails get gnarly enough to need front and rear lockers you are going to need lots it other stuff like frame sliders, skid plates, larger tires, bumpers front and rear etc … so you don’t tear the rest of the truck apart. It’s easy to sink thirty grand into these trucks to get them to perform only marginally better. Slippery slope … they will never be a rock crawler but I can follow a jeep rubicon or bronco anywhere.

Which is why my personal preference is to continue as a noncrawling hundyer.
I'll probably do a front e-locker on my '99 since, no Atrac, I already limit where I go due to the 2 pinion diff, I do my own labor, and I need to open it anyways.
The cost difference between upgrading to a standard 4 pinion and a locker is not terrible so I make the excuse to throw one in.

The 80 is a fat a** pig, the Hundy is fatter and 2Hundy fatter yet 
I did that and was completely satisfied with the results. Sometimes, I needed the front locker to climb up some Colorado trails.

If you can’t get over something again and again and again and need to, then consider an upgrade.
If you need triple lockers, I’d drive a solid axle. Now if you’re breaking factory front 3rd members then an upgrade could be advantageous.
