Default Rubi lockers

I'm a little confused by this whole locker thing. I have a 2010 JKU rubicon... Am I okay with my stock lockers?

Default why wouldnt you be ok with them

you have the lockers ive used mine and they saved my a$$ already let me clarify a little I was stuck in a ditch I couldn't go back or forward standard shift I thought oh crap , then I said lets see what these lockers are all about and hit them
I came out of a 4 foot trench like a helicopter tied on to me , unbelievable I was back up on the dirt road again the stock lockers worked great for me it paid for itself a truck wouldn't have pulled out of that hole in 4wd

Okay I went goofing around today and tried flexing on my friends porch... Don't ask it's concrete... And I put it in 4L, disconnect the sway bars, and went at the ledge, stopped almost immediately because I was getting a loud clicking sound when I tried going up the ledge, this might be normal and I'm just now starting to go off road so is this normal or not? Maybe my front driveshaft? It's still stock but I don't see any grease and it only has happened in this situation, never before.

You DO NOT want to be in any four wheel configuration while on a hard surface such as concrete and even the lawn.

Yes you can! Just run the locker wires to a relay and a switch and you are good to go. The axle itself is a direct bolt in.
