Thanks for the advice Maddog. Im still trying to figure out where my next buck goes. It would however make more sense to fix something that has already proven to be a problem rather than spend money on mods I have so far lived without, without any problems. I havent come across a need for armor yet and hope I wont since I usualy use a spotter and I would hate to add the extra wieght and potential for over heating. Lockers would clearly help traction but honestly traction hasn't been a problem yet. as for the solid front axle, I would sooner buy a new (used) truck with solids all around. You can get a good Jeep for just under 7k around here. In my oppinion such a drastic mod as that would be foolish. If you desire a vehicle with solid axles it would make more sense to purchase one rather than build one yourself.
