I don't want to hijack but if you wired it up and it stayed locked you could have possibly had a faulty switch? Either that or somehow despite the switch being off you had constant power going to the locker. Or maybe just a broken/jacked up locker.

 

I don't know. With it being a Rubicon, I just let it be and run it in 4lo most of the time on the trail. I did this during my "cheap or no cost mods" days. It was something to try on a Friday. When I get around to upgrading axles, then I will try and figure it out if I end up with an e locker.

 

Ive been running 37's on my stock D30 for about 2yrs now, only thing that has given me problems are the ball joints and axle seals. i just recently bout a rubi 44 axle with 5.13 gears and a locker of eBay for about 2k and am currently installing it, i plan on regearing the rear and leaving it alone for a while. once i recoup some cash ill grab driveshafts and long arms. defiantly just get a D44 from a rubi and build it, a lot cheaper and it'll hold up fine if your not crazy doing 30mph down bumpy trails or the sort. goodluck man

 

thanks for the input man! Still deciding I'm leaning towards a Rubi 44 axle but we'll see come summer time
