Yes, you can get a track lock. But if you are used to driving in 2WD in snow don't worry about it. I grew up using 4WD in snow because where I lived we needed it. We couldn't even get a snow day at school until we got at least three feet out one storm.

i mean yeah i normally run 2wd but i have used 4wd sometimes. youve kinda made it hard to decide as well lol. i know you didnt mean to just alot of stuff to think about .
It is ultimately your choice and will be dictated by your intended use and driving style. On the other hand, I can point to many XJ owners who did just what you were going to do.

lol. it just seems like so many options. and everyones way is right. i might just spartan lock it front and rear and if i blow up the front then i can just upgrade it then. or would it still be better to lsd the rear?
Well, for trail use lock both ends. The only issue I was raising is snow. Now I can tell you that a rear locker doesn't like snow. Traction is pretty crappy that way. But if you are looking at a trail rig and summer driving, locking both ends is the way to go

right but with an auto locker that would only be if it locks up. or i still may run a select-able in the rear which would make that a moot point
An auto locker works by grabbing one or both axles depending on how much traction the wheels get. A selectable in the rear I think is the way to go for you. You will have the best of both. I have auto lockers now, but when I change axles I have two ARBs waiting to go in

Yes, go for it
