The only part of the Rubi's locker switch cycle I don't understand is how
you cycle them off. When cycling them on I know it goes rear first, front
second. Do they cycle off in reverse order?

The Detroit can unlock on its own if one wheel need to spin faster. The
manual locker in the Rubicon will not do that. If you lock the manual
locker on the rubicon while on dry pavement some part of your axle will
break into pieces very quickly.

In addition the Rubicon has a torque-sensing limited slip installed
which can not ever be de-activated; that and 4wd-hi should be sufficient
for any on-road traction problem that could ever exist.

I'm saving up for Detroit Truetrac lockers for mny Sahara for both from
and rear. Those are almost the same as the limited slips the rubicon has.

Now that you mention it, I think I'd be in the market for some of the
guarded switches like we had on the arming panels in a/c - might even
look good.
