The row of buttons under your heat/ac/vent controls. The emergency flashers button and ESP disable button will be there, as well as the locker on/off switch and swaybar disconnects if installed. Rubicons will have a full switch panel there, by sahara has all of the switches, but they are blank because I do not have those options.

Yes, thats exactly right, Just blanks other than 4-ways and ESP. Yet when I drop it into 4Hi or 4Lo I have moments when im trying to turn tight, and i get a 'crow-hop' like violent back and forth of the wheel? Making me think it has some sort of lockers? could that just be rear?

MKjeep is one of the lucky ones that hasn't run into problems. I bent my D30 housing with 98+% street driving. (No crawling, no mud, no stupidity, just a few forest service roads) If you are re-gearing and adding gussets, go ahead and sleeve it as well. Or talk your self into going all out and pick up a PR44...

That is the u-joints on the ends of the axles binding. Normal.

It is telling you not to turn so tight in 4wd...

By the way, you weren't on dry pavement when you were trying that, were you???

Also, try it after you regear and go to bigger tires. It becomes very very noticeable then.
