This pic covers all the bases. If it's got t's or wheels, it's going to be trouble. Meanwhile, not only is she smoking hot and has a badass rig to drive, she gets to hit off the red tees.
Are you a midget/Tom Cruise? Seat risers are on my list along side neoprene seat covers and swamp ass.
'02 seat position differs from '06. Ask around.

03 and newer seats are mounted lower than 02 and older were but I have never heard of any seat height differences changes between 2003 and 2006.
OP
What were actually talking about is- Does failing to use the locker in four-wheel-drive risk damage to the limited slip differential-
Your post brings to mind how few lockers fail considering the age, the extreme use and numbers sold (TJ Rubicons were a huge seller).
Sure someone has seen a locker fail, and engines, and transfer cases, and everything else.
Also in these situations- none of us have a clue what/how the previous owners may have abused these. Sure, they only drove it to church....
The PCM nannies probably deserve a lot of credit for TJ Rubicon locker life- it slowed people down during the engagement process.
A locker really is a hard-core performance item and had never been sold to the public in large numbers in production vehicles.
The majority of these people had never seen, heard or had a locker and even today many Rubicon owners don’t know what they are-

The first mod I did ti my 05 TJ was seat risers for the drivers side.
So my to do list when warmer Temps arrive!!
Replace thermostat
Relocate locker pumps
Locker mod.
I love the idea of lockers in 2hi and 4hi.

Added locker mod to mine also. I was already considering it now it’s a for sure.

Do it. The flexibility to bypass the factory process is really an advantage. You will be glad - don’t be intimidated- its a ground, 2 wires, 2 switches.
Then I'll give you $10 for it but you have to deliver it to Maryland.
I know AndyG pretty good. And he wouldn't sell such a defective product to anyone !
OP
I can’t take advantage of people like that- Rubicons are of no value now
YES! I didn't make it a practice to lock the rear diff while offroad. After I drove the Hole-in-the-Rock road near Escalante, UT, my rear diff was permanently locked ("crash locking"). There doesn't appear to be any way to replace those gears once they're toast. I chose an ARB to replace which has had a whole other learning curve. It was an expensive mistake.
OP
Thanks for posting - sounds right in line with all we have learned.
Makes a good argument for both using the rear locker and the switch mod for easy of use, especially when in 4 hi- where the most “open diff / 4wd engaged” miles would likely be driven.
so is what I've gathered from all this is the limited slip on the Rubicon is not only useless but also causes troubles. so is there a way to remove the limited slip so it doesn't break and cause more damage?
Not sure why they even included a limited slip with the factory lockers in the rear...???
