Not terrible, but then I only drive it about 6 miles to work and a few minutes to the trails LOL. If I had to drive in snow and ice I wouldnt have auto lockers. It'll probably get switched out for a true track after the first of the year though. I rarely lift a tire off the ground, and I think it would be a much better over all set up for me. But bang for your buck the little aussie's and lockrights are hard to beat performance wise.

All my mods have been under $500 per...

My favorite cheap upgrade so far is my Advanced Adapters transfer case bracket... It really buttered up the shifting... Very nice....

Homemade seat risers come next....

Scratch and dent sale from 4 wheel parts. Technically used because they were on a show truck. Never actually driven on. Just rolled around. All 5 for 400

I think the best investment for under $500 was my hard top (Used). Since I'm in Canada it gets pretty cold here, the soft top just didn't work well enough.

Other then that, I'd say my T-Max EW9000 winch, shes helped me out of a lot of messes
