4lo only. You can install a ground wire and switch on the relay and lock it any time you want.

Ronjenx, do have a write for that? We did it to a TJ rubicon but I'm sure the JK is a bit different. I can search for it later if you don't have one handy. Thanks.

I don't have it handy. It's on here, though.
It's just a matter of tapping a switch into the violet colored ground wire on each locker relay.
It retains normal operation, and allows use of the locker any time you throw the switch.
