Running Lockers in 4HI (rubicon)
 

I have heard of guys rewiring their rubicons to allow them to use the
lockers in 4HI. I see that you can also buy kits on EBAY that will
allow you to do the same thing. What are he PRO's and CON's of making
this change? Would I be taking the chance of breaking something simply
because the vehicle is not designed to run in this configuration? This
question has probably been asked a 1000 times on this list but if
somebody could give me a link to the information I would really
appreciate it.

My opinion is that if the trail conditions are tough enough that you
need lockers, you can't drive fast enough to be in 4Hi.

One "CON" might be an increased likelihood of flipping the vehicle over at
speed. That pretty much wipes out any "PRO"s I can think of.

I agree with Jerry. If you need lockers, you need to be in 4lo. I would not
want a front locker engaged at any speed not allowed in 4lo.
