Default Modifying Rubicon Rear

Has anyone come up with a way to modify the rear locker on a 12 or 13 Rubicon to run it in 4high, 2high, and still use it in 4low ? I would like to be able to lock it up on occasion in high, especially in deep snow on the road.

I've got a lot of experience with lockers in trucks so I know the downsides but the upsides definitely outweigh them. I would like to use the standard rear w/o changing it out.

TIA

I've seen it done by either tapping into the locker relay and using a toggle switch or it can be done with some programmers such as the superchips.
Heres a write up for the switches: https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/jk-w...ication-88085/

Here's a thread/write-up that BIGNICK recently did on his '12 that allows you to use the locker in both 4wd and 2wd...
