Okay- I’m back. Did some more wheeling yesterday. So, they will lock up fine and work well…. until they don’t. They turn themselves off after a while and won’t reengage unless I turn the jeep off.

I was just reading the sticky on how to activate lockers in 4H or 2wd. It indicates that 45 is the speed that it automatically disengages. An impossibility for me (and you).

Maybe, I tried to go fast but it is pretty hard with 4.88's in low. It could have been on a downhill as I was going down last time. Thanks again for your help!

So apparently I am losing my mind. I checked both pumps, inflating quickly and not cycling. I then went over to a trail, hit 4L and engaged both. Confirmed they lock and went on a 10 minute drive. Practiced locking and unlocking the front. No problems, they worked perfectly. Maybe I...

Yeah- so far they have been great. Got much better after pulling 20 psi from them. My installer had them at 46psi! Pretty quiet, clear mud easily.

Yes, picture was about 6500 ft, the “hills” are the eastern edge of the Sierra Nevada range. Lots of snow there!

Yeah- thanks for that. As you already noticed, I don’t mind fixing issues (jaguar)! The seller was very cool, he didn’t do the build and was just using it on pavement. He was also transparent that he was not a car guy and not sure how everything worked, etc. The cleanliness of the Jeep was...

Totally!

Good morning all! My new to me Rubi (03, 72k miles) has been with me since Tuesday. When I was looking at it, I verified the air lockers both were functional. I was on the trail last night and engaged front and rear. Both locked up and worked normally for about 5 minutes then the light went...

Picked up our 03 Rubicon last week. Had a chance to play around on the trails in my back yard this week. Many more adventures to come!

Drove her from Oakdale, CA to Reno via Sacramento. Stayed for work in Sac the last 2 nights and had a new set of 33”x12.5 r15’s mounted (BFG KO3’s) as the tires were cracked. It may not be the best Core 4x4 lift, but the Jeep really rides and drives well. I have owned a YJ and a JKR (OME...

I am interested

Thanks- I do have a gauge, have not looked for a cooler yet. Drive it about 60 miles tonight, rides nice. It is a Core 4x4 lift (3.5) with an unknown 1.25” body lift. I ordered up a new set of 33’s as these are starting to crack in the sidewalls, will be a good combo. I won’t have it home...

You guys are nice enough! Appreciate all the help. I’m just asking about the 35 thing cause it’s due for tires and as we won’t be putting a ton of miles on, would prefer to go there now if it makes sense. That said, looks like the rig was built for 33’s and I’ll keep it there for now...

Good day all! I have just purchased a 2003 Rubicon. It has lived in Modesto, CA its entire life with three owners. 71,000 miles. The current owner bought it about a year ago and does not have a ton of knowledge of the upgrades. I won’t pick it up until Tuesday but thought I’d throw some...
