Major Mods this weekend.... Couldn't be happier!
Finally got my brand new Rubicon front and rear crate axles installed this weekend. The front got sleeved, gusseted, LCA skids, and I have BTF diff covers for both front and rear. The diff covers will go on when I change the gear oil after a 500 mile break in. I also installed RK front and rear LCA's. I had the 2.5" stock mod lift, and installed these along with braided stainless brake lines to make it basically the max travel kit. Holy crap what a difference! I have a 2008 2dr X with 3.21 gears. Moving to 4.10's and having the castor set right makes this thing drive like a dream! No more death wobble!!! I wired the lockers to a custom switch panel that I made complete with the LED indicator lights to show engagement. I also finished welding up my rear bumper with tire carrier that will be linked to the rear gate...
Expensive, but great weekend... Only downside is that when I put the Jeep up on the lift I realized that I gained engough travel that I need a front driveshaft, as the boot is rubbing the exhaust.
If anyone in NE Ohio is looking for a set of complete axles, let me know.

I am running the factory Rubicon electric lockers. They are wired independently to a relayed switch from the locker, and an indicator light to the sensor. I am running all sealed Deutch connectors, and added a Painless fuse block for the accessories. Each locker is on it's own 10 amp circuit. Works awesome... I will try to get pics of the switches.
