Default JK Rubicon Patrol Car

Hi All: I'm a new member with a couple of problems with my '07 Rubicon 4 Door. I use my Rubicon as my patrol unit in my job as a Conservation Officer for a desert preserve just south of Las Vegas. I get paid to provide my personal 4X4 patrol unit. I have put 108,000 miles on a Jeep Cherokee while on patrol and felt that it was time for a new vehicle. I purchased an '07 Rubi without much research just putting my faith in Jeep's Engineers. I find that the electric differential lockers work only in LR. I need at least the rear locker to work in HR too. The ride on washboarded roads with the front sway bar in place is much too rough. I want to be able to alter the electric sway bar system to disconnect in any 4X2 or 4X4 situation. It is not set up to allow that. And a secondary problem is that the doors all are automatically locked every time the vehicle is put into gear. I need that feature disabled. Can anyone help me with suggestions?

My Rubi has a 3" lift, 35" Mickey Thompson Mudders, rock rails and a HD steering stabilizer. The rear bumper was changed to the Jeep all-steel bumper with a tow bar.

I am willing to drive as far as Salt Lake City or Los Angeles to get the above items fixed. Any shop names?

Not sure anyone has come up with a fix for the edisco problem. A lot of guys were trying to figure out how to lock up in 4 hi also, for sand travel. They were posting wiring diagrams, etc. I just havent heard anyone coming up with the answer.

The door locks can be done by you. Its in the manual or do a search on here. I think its a combination of holding buttons on the key fob or turning on the key and clicking the locks so many times. Good luck
