Do not place the switches in a location where they may be accidentally switched to ground while you are at speed on the highway. Put them out of the way of anywhere you normally reach. This is more important for anyone else that may drive your Jeep, or be in it. Maybe these lockers won't throw the Jeep much if they accidentally lock, but some do. Best not to try it.

put "Passenger Eject" over your switch.

I just finished this mod this afternoon. Soo far it seems to work fine. But it seems that when you flip the switch theres a little bit of a delay for the lockers to come on, but i have not had a problem gettin them to unlock and lock back jus gotta roll the jeep a little to get it to click in, But other than that it works great true locked in 2hi and 4hi. The install was pretty simple the hardest part was taking the battery out and running the wires lol, its a pretty straight forward mod. I love it

what switches did you use to do this, and how did you tap into the wires, sauder or a clip of some sort? There has to be a really professional way of doing this...i wonder if i could find someone to do this for me..??

I am sure that any local auto mechanic or auto electric type place coudl take care of it.

If you want some nice switches go with the Contura Rocker type switches. Be careful though because there are soem cheap knock-offs being sold by some people who are marketing them to the off road community.

For safety reasons you could always go with the fighter pilot style ones with the red safety cover.

Is there any reason why this mod wouldn't work for the X/Sahara models with the factory rear locker? Are the relays and wiring colors the same as the Rubicons?

Should work fine. there would not be a front locker relay. The rear locker relay would be there though.
