Default New to me 2008 JKU questions

Up until now, the newest jeep I owned was a YJ, I just bought a 2008 JKU X. 84000 miles, small lift great shape. I'm very happy. I also have 1948 Willys,

the JK will be a mild wheeler so I don't Know my plans yet for mods, I have a couple things to do first, it needs front brakes and has a intermittent shake around 60mph I need to figure out.

i just got it home an was poking around and found these switches.


I knew rubi's came with lockers and sway bar disconnect. But was it an option on other models?

The he prev owner never wheeled it. And didn't know anything about them.

Yep, but the locker is rear only according to my owner's manual (PDF is available online). Very nice Jeep, looks well taken care of.

So it's a full locker? Not the LS?

Sure is, there's no switch for a LS. It has to be in 4LO to test it, an amber lock symbol will blink then go solid when it's fully engaged.
