The Gladiator Rubicon has a "high speed off road mode" that allows to you lock only the rear diff and keep the front unlocker. Supposedly a Jeep first?
If it allows that in high range it might be a first from a manufacturer.The Gladiator Rubicon has a "high speed off road mode" that allows to you lock only the rear diff and keep the front unlocker. Supposedly a Jeep first?

The Cruisers that had front and rear lockers engaged rear only first (RR) and then both (FR-RR). 4Runners, Tacomas and FJ Cruiser only ever got rear lockers stock. Either way Toyota wires their factory lockers so you can only engage them in low range, so you have to trick the 4WD ECU or otherwise hack it to get high range lockers.
Not sure about the ZR2, but I thought the lockers were on two switches.
I like it so far. Just waiting for price and tow capacity for V6 with a manual in a Rubicon package. If I could get the max tow with the Rubicon and manual it will be the perfect dual purpose vehicle for me. My travel trailer is around 6k loaded.

ZR2 has great flexibility with regards to engaging the lockers. There are indeed two switches, and you can even lock the rear in 2WD.
Pretty sure Fords with e-lockers will work in 2wd. I will check tomorrow.If it allows that in high range it might be a first from a manufacturer.

My Jeep Yj was reliable as well. Because it had nothing. No AC. No auto trans. No power windows. No windows.
But the auto trans models and auto xj's had a nearly 100% failure rate. And the rear axle was made out of wood. Soft wood. Not sure that I want a new Jeep?
Yes it's been hacked. In the 1st gen Tacoma (and I think 3rd gen 4Runner, 80 series) it's called the grey wire mod. It's more involved in the 2nd gen so I haven't gone to the trouble yet.My Tacoma E-Locker works in high-range and in 2WD. I am the 2nd owner, so maybe the previous owner did some wiring trickery???
