Hello, my names James and im a jeepaholic.

Tell us about the mods you have made.
4" suspension lift, 1" body lift, 35" Dick Cepek FC2's on Mickey Thompson rims, Smittybilt 8000lb winch, Advance adapters transfer case linkage bracket (Works awesome but did need some welding to get to work, now linkage is nice and smooth finally ), Volant header and Lous Custom cat back system (Header was a lot of fun to install )

In the future I plan on installing a locker and new gears (front or back locker? Im thinking front first?)

Welcome James!!
I would do the rear locker first. When climbing an obstacle most of the vehicles weight is transfered to the rear leaving the front tires spinning (locked or not), if the rear is locked you have a better chance of getting over the obstacle.

Re: James R
Hey James, I'm another vote for locking the front first. Unless you're doing wicked steep climbs the weight transfer that Doug is talking about is less of a factor. I've done it both ways and found that I had better all around results from locking the front first, even on moderately steep climbs and definitely on step climbs (yes, step not steep).
I am the foremost authority on my opinion.

Re: James R
Greetings James. Welcome to the party.
70+/-% of your forward traction comes from the rear (from the Powertrax manual). Another vote for rear locker first.
Don't forget to pack some extra shafts for your Dana 35.
