Default 2012 rubi' locker modification w/ pics and steps

i completed the locker mod on my 12' rubi'. ive written detailed steps followed by pics.

-remove battery ( connect backup power so u wont lose radio)
-locate and remove relays off the bracket
-relays consist of 4 wires each ( 3 yellow wires and purple wire)
- relay w/ purple wire w/ green stripe = rear locker
- relay w/ purple wire w/ blue stripe = front locker
-connect new wire w/ existing relay wire while wire connector for each relay
-i ran the wire along the firewall and threw a hole located near the brake master cylinder
-pop of the side cover a pull wires threw slowly
-i gorunded the wires off a bolt with a ring connector
-install your switches were you please and put back removed items

-i customly cut my offroad panel for my switches. i off-centered them from front to back to now which was which. unfortunatley while tightening the switches i snaped the panel so ill have to fix that later but the switches are still operating.
