Two things. First off, it looks good. I like the tires. Secondly, light trail and backroad exploring and rubi transfer case, lockers and a D44 up front are really overkill for what you said you'll be using it for. Don't get me wrong - I've gone way overkill for how I usually use mine, but those are not exactly cheap upgrades. Just saying.
A Rubi case can be picked up around here for 800 to 1,000 bucks, I still play in off road parks every now and then so that would be nice. Also plan on getting out to Moab Utah someday. So the lockers and 4:1 would be nice. Do I plan on hardcore rock crawling? No, but traction devices for those kinda places make stuff a lot easier. I don't HAVE to have a d44 front. The 30 will be fine for what I'm planning, but if I happen to stumble on a 44 front for a good deal, why not?
