So i may have a set of Rubicon axles w/locks and all tha will be going in my jeep. Im not sure yet but theres a good chance.

My question is, i have heard that some people have problems trying to put ruby axles in sahara/x models. What is the problems people are running into here? Is it not a good idea to go down that path? And can i still use the stock switch/wring harness? or would i have to get all new after-market stuff to wire it since the computer is not flashed or whatever to run it?

thanks for the info guys!

Also, im sure a post like this already has been brought up somewhere, if so, i apologize and please link the link

thanks again

 

First you win the first day of Christmas, then you want all this information. I mean, really!

J/K, wish I could help, just had to bust 'em!

 

Not sure what problems people are having. I just bought a front Rubi axle and the factory wiring harness. I cut off the wiring clip with some wire off it and ran it to a toggle switch. Worked great so far.

 

Ah ok. So it will work. But I will not be able to use stock harness to stock switch in dash?

 

Correct, you will need the wiring for the lockers and replace the switch panel as well, otherwise you will not be able to activate the lockers.

 

That sucks:( I like the placement of the stock switch :(

 

So what are some good switches to put in there? To wire the axles to I mean. I have never had to pick switches before. And once I'm done would I have to take it to the dealer to have something flashd so the lockers work? I thought I heard that somewhere before

 

Actually, you can get the wiring harness from Mopar that will wire both the front and rear lockers and is a stock switch.

 

You sure? Everyone i have spoke to says i will need to run after-market switches because even if i run stock harness the computer will not recognize the lockers for the stock switch. even if i flash it or whatever.

 

While that's true, several on here who have done the swap have reported many problems with doing this in a X or Sahara model.

The answer is, run the lockers off of an aftermarket toggle switch. Not only is it less expensive but it gives you more control over those lockers too.
