Rubicon Locker(s)

A girl at work bought a new Rubicon and while checking it out, I noticed there is one switch/button for the locker(s). I assume it has air locker(s)? - but am not sure are both diff's are equipped with air locker's? If so, when you hit the switch, do both engage at the same time? I thought it was odd if that is how it works?

They are electric lockers. The switch is a three position switch. Push up to lock the front, down to lock the rear, again to unlock.

Ah... thanks! Did Rubicons once come with air locker's?

Yep, the TJ model Rubi's had air lockers.

Ahhh... I thought maybe I was confused.

I recently looked into Eaton E-Locker's for my KJ, but couldn't find any. So I've assumed they don't make them for the 8,.25 or D30a. FWIW, from what I read, those E-Locker's sounded good to me. Oh well....

Thanks for the heads-up on the Rubicon's.

The Rubi Lockers (TJ and JK) are made by TFS (Tochigi Fuji Sangyo). The Eaton E-Locker, I would stay away from, numerous issues with them. After a few thousand miles they won't function any longer.

the TJ Rubicon lockers work weird too, if you mix up the air hoses, it will still work, but the dashboard cluster will say Locker (meaning problem) and it was a 1 way toggle switch...click for rear, 2 click for front and rear and third click off
