Don't get afraid of a 2001 model year, most all of the issues were worked out in the mid 90's. A 2001 is nearly identical to a 2003 for a good bit less $$$. Lockers cost $1500 installed each ( if you really want them). Many say the best year for offroading is the 1997.5 it has no TT4, 6.5TD, updated air, Torsen I diffs that are easier to BTM than the Torsen II that came with the TT4 trucks. But, after wheeling with all years, they all are simply amazing and very similar in capability regardless of if it came with lockers, torsen II, etc. I like the 99-01 years right now because you can find one for a steal and I bet they have hit bottom as far as depreciation.
