Edit: Motochopper hasnt worked for a long time.
If you want to root without unlocking, try Kingo.
(Due to XDA rules, we cant link to it, so you can just google it.)

ORIGINAL POST:
I got my TF300T with JB preinstalled. So I've never been able to root until today. (I didn't want to unlock my bootloader.)
Motochopper is a root method made for the Motorola Razr HD by djrbliss (Dan Rosenberg), but is said to work on many other devices, including non-motorola ones.
I tried motochopper on my TF300T. I was rooted in about a minute!
Confirmed working with:
Failures:
Notes:
It installs SuperSu (which will ask to be updated)
It installs busybox 1.17 (which you will have to update manually)
Backup your root with Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper!!!
This does not touch your bootloader.
This is mainly for people that just want root, and don't want to deal with (or need) unlocking.
FYI: How to access "Developer Options" to set USB debugging: (Jelly Bean 4.2)

FYI: How to access "Developer Options" to set USB debugging: (Jelly Bean 4.2)
Open up your device’s “Settings”. This can be done by pressing the Menu button while on your home screen and tapping “System settings”
Now scroll to the bottom and tap “About phone” or “About tablet”.
At the “About” screen, scroll to the bottom and tap on “Build number” seven times.
Make sure you tap seven times. If you see a “You are now a developer!” message pop up, then you know you have done it correctly.
Done! By tapping on “Build number” seven times, you have unlocked USB debugging mode on Android 4.2 and higher. You can now enable/disable it whenever you desire by going to “Settings” -> “Developer Options” -> “Debugging” ->” USB debugging”.
