Thumbs up Locker Mod, who's dunnit?

I did this weekend. Can't wait to run the dunes now. Used some ricer switches from Pep Boys. They have a red indicator LED. Got the relays from radio shack. Soldered and sealed all connections. Even have an extra switch for the off road lights now. Total spent - $41.

Nice work!

Did mine a couple weeks ago, similar concept. The two on the left are my off road lights and the two on the right are for the lockers.

Default What lockers???

Searched high and low on this forum....am I missing something? Nobody mentions the use of ARB lockers.....Are they available for the JKs? I have a Sahara and would like to install lockers when I re-gear the axles......35" tires with 3" lift......there were no rubi's to buy 4 weeks ago when I bought the Sahara. Help.....Anybody......

The Locker mod they are talking about is for the rubicon's. They are tapping into the factory locker relay and hooking a toggle switch to them. This allows them to be used in any transfer case position, not just 4 low.

We got a ton of rain here yesterday, so I went out to play (great excuse to the wife, told her I had to test the new mod to ensure it worked properly!). 2wd locked rear was a TON of fun. Best mod evar!
