Re: Rubicon front locker
 

Hay Mike!
Does that bike cable work for shifting the front axel on a YJ?
My vac. lines are nasty and will not shift the axel fork. I've heard
about i think i here. I'll have to try it.
Buy the way it's been in the low 30's here in Mi. And i have yet put
the hard top on. Feel to restrictive with it on.
Thanks.

Yes, the YJ and older Cherokee.

I don't have the link, I think Bill H does.

You should start a fresh thread about it or I will ping Bill in the
header on this post.

Cool! I hope other Rubies aren't looking forward to your problem.
It's a first here.

Re: Rubicon front locker
 

I met a fellow with a Rubicon at Camp Jeep this year whose front locker
would not engage when if the vehicle was warm. The Jeep enginering team
correctly diagnosed it as a bad switch. The switch is not a simple rocker
switch. It is on the computer's bus and there are electronics inside the
swith itself.

Don's problem sounds different, but I wanted to add a second data point
about Rubicon lockers failing to engage.
