i have a 2004 rubicon and i know that you can only engage the lockers in 4lo, and that is done as a safty percation because everyone like to sue people at a drop of a hat nowadays but does anyone have an overide kit for it, or has anyone figured out a way to get around it and one more question does it void the warrenty???? cause if it does i can just wait a few years to do it... thanks

Yeah there is a pretty easy fix to that... if I can find the link I'll post it. It has been discussed on this board before, did you search??? It has been a while so it may be hard to find.

which are better air or electric lockers or are they both equal??? should i forget about doing the upgrade and just save money to replace them with air ones, or are the stock one perfectly capible for the worst stuff i could get into???

Looks easy enough to me.

I'd say electric lockers are a little better, air lockers are prone to air leaks. No reason for you to change, though.

Man, you got selectable lockers...stock!!!! Drive my little stock SE and you'll get a differnet opinion about your Rubi lockers! And Dana 44's front and rear!?!? Sorry, but I don't see the problem.

If you are going to put money into your Rubi, don't waste it on different lockers. Their lockers work fine and yours probably are under warranty

Also, keep in mind that electric lockers are prone to trouble as well - wiring, relays, servos, yatayatayata

Uwharrie (correct spelling)!!!!!! Enjoy!! Great place - been there only once in mudwoman's YJ before I even got my Jeep! Wound up getting getting pulled off a high-center by an ATV

. Nice trails. Wheel all day for $5 - can't beat it!
