Texsun, you are right. Wheel it, get a feel for it and learn the vehicle. It will make you that much better when you do go to lockers and more lift. Take a look at Ryan and his driving. Open open and does it all! I would get some under armor, sliders and a BB would be all you need to run 37's on a JK. I speak from expirience when I say this... save those pennies and spend it wisely when you get. Little pieces here and there never get you far  ;D

I watched Ryan alot, he was in front of me most of sat. so i watched his lines.  he is lifted, but still i saw and even tried some of his lines.  i need to nxt time when someone is being spotted, just get closer and listen more and pay attention..

I'd say sliders and budget boost

[kvom]

Put the money in a saving account (or under the mattress)  and wheel it as-is a while longer.

Sliders would be my first choice otherwise. 

[BigJerm]

Sliders used on CL. Probably could find some Rubicon take off's (call the dealers as well and 4x4 shops around dealers) to see if they got used sliders.

A locker would be a good option only if you plan to keep the D30 and no move up to a 44 front.

Oil pan skid plate would be another good investment. You land on a rock the wrong way and puncture the pan and your day is DONE. No limping that home (speaking to you too Ben  {popcorn} ).

Jay bought some new Rubi rail takeoffs for $100 I think. May want to check on where he found them.

Jerm, I know!
