Rubicon locker over-ride

wilwith1l · #1 07-05-2005, 08:42 AM

My 05 Rubicon will only let you use the lockers when in 4 LO. This is just the way it was designed, don't know why. What can I do to over ride this; to use them in 4 HI and 2 HI? I am pretty sure there is no switch on the transfer case shifter itself. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Someone just sent me this link on another board, but nobody that I know of has tried it. Looks like a 20 min job. I'll try it and let you guys know.

The link wouldn't work for me; was it an easy electronic change, or was it mechanical?

Electric. Easy. Just wired a jumper wire with a 2 position swich between number1 and number5 on the back of the switch. From the start to finish 30 minutes.

Do those rubicons come with Dana 44's from the factory?

Do they have a Jeep V8?

Sup just googled it, yes to the dana 44's but no to the V8.
