i really would go for the other way
winch 1st
tyres second

you'll have alot more fun with muds than with simex type tyres
they take the fun out of it IMO

Range Rover Blues:
I'd go tyres first, you'll noty get stuck so often.

Next IIRC I got the lockers

Bought a winch last, used it 3 times, 2 of which were shifting a car onto the trailer :roll:

Buy tyres, buy a locker, get a winch kit for your Hi-Lift :wink:

littlepow:
I'd go winch first, less likely to cause damage to your vehicle. Also by learning to drive on MT's further you will get better ground reading skills.

You will also put less stress on your drive system.

Then fit a locker, the less grippy tyres will be more forgiving, while you learn to use it properly and alter your driving style to compensate for the change in traction available.

Ridgeback:
I was thinking about what all the extra grip and traction might do.

Think its going to be usefull to get a winch.
Im not sure about fitting all the uprated drive shafts because i want that part to go befor i smash up gearboxs, but i am keen on the locker.

I have seen loads of defenders get pulled out of a mud hole on a pay and play day, then someone with lockers came along and made it look easy.
