Default putting a Rubi front D44 in an X

Ok. David at Northridge4x4 said he should have my front D44 out of his Rubi and shipped out to me by friday. I am a little confused about how to wire up the locker in my X. Anyone know where I can find a write up on this? I've found one on another forum that has some of the info I need but not everything.

I did this same swap with my X. I installed a toggle switch on the dash with a 5amp fuse in between the locker and toggle switch. The power to the toggle switch has a inline fuse. The other locker wire is grounded to the frame. Very easy to do, make sure you have extra wire so when you flex you do uninstall the wiring.

I forgot to mention that I bought a new harness and cut off the end that I needed. I then sold the other end to my co-worker to offset the cost on it.
