'75 CJ5 for rocks and mud?

I've got a '75 CJ5 that i'll be using for mudding and rock crawling ... right now its got a 3" spring over suspension lift, a 401 from a '75 wagoneer, 35" tires, full rollcage, dana 20 transfer case, dana 30 front end dana 44 flanged rear, both are open diffs. my question is what are some things i can do to make this better for my intended use? i want to be able to handle the trails in Moab, and any mud/sand i come across. I'll be replacing the tires and wheels first, planning on Eaton 16 bolt beadlock 15" rims and MT MTZ 35x12.50 tires, a Warn 8000lb winch with a rock crawler grill guard and mount plate for the winch. what other things can i do to get this up to Moab Standards? also plan on converting the 401 to fuel injection. Thanks for all the advice in advance.

Lockers. For rocks or mud you won't regret it.

are there any specific brand that is better than any other? I've heard the name Detroit tossed around a lot when it comes to lockers ... is that the best you can get? or would something like Ox or Eaton suffice? and is it worth converting from the 4 barrel carb to fuel injected?
