Since you said cost is a factor, consider a TrueTrac for the front and maybe even the rear. I run one in the front and a regular Detroit locker in rear. Kicked the snot out of the Rubicon; there wasn't one place I struggled for traction. It's true the the TT isn't a locker but it is VERY effective and I think a little kinder to my D30. I like the rear Detroit Locker for it's simplicity and strength.
People love the TT in the rain, ice, snow, mud but criticize it for rock crawling only in wheel-in-air scenario. I run an auto tranny so it's super easy to compensate for by using a little brake. I drive 2 footed in the rocks anyways so it's no biggie to apply brakes to gain traction.
Any other comments on the Tru-Trac gang? Sounds like a good setup for what I have planned. (Still not sure on the 8.25" - whether it's limited slip. Doesn't appear to be with wheels spinning opposite direction when on the jack) Ratcheting of the Detroit might drive me nuts?
In a nutshell, won't TT front & rear be worlds better than open on both ends?
Thanks again.
