oh and yes you cant go fast with lockers in rubi because of the 4low 4:1 transfer case, but with lockers on you shouldnt be going fast in any jeep IMO

I can think of one use right off the bat, at the farm I have to traverse 200 acre field on a regular basis that gets plowed and planted with oats and other crops from time to time. When it rains this turns into a long muddy drive that is much easier with lockers but does not require a 4:1 gear ratio. YMMV
