Thanks folks I'm new to the forum and appreciate the support. And a hat tip to Mountaineer Tom!
Jeep came from Louisanna and it is RUSTY.

What do the locker pumps do?
 
OK, spent the afternoon educating myself on locker pumps. They lock the axle wheels together to insure both wheels turn at the same speed. Aids in traction for difficult terrain.
Rubicons come with selectable lockers, front and rear. They operate on 5lbs of air pressure and can be relocated to other areas on the jeep. OEM are mounted on the transmission skid plate.

A Rubicon also has a 241 Transfer Case as mine has the 231 case.

I want the low gearing yours has over mine. Your 4low gearing in your case is 4.0 to 1. My 231 is a higher ratio of 2.72 to 1.

Bingo. And those pumps are a little hard to locate-

I’m a Rubicon owner in North Alabama if I can help you in any way. If wired stock, they will only come on in 4lo. The momentary switch is below the climate control- one click down locks the rear, another click the front, one click up disengages both. Slow driving and turning can help with lock and unlock.

The Rubicon is one of the most capable 4 wheel drive vehicles ever sold to the general public, production began in 2003. The smaller size and agility of the TJ Rubicon makes it an absolute weapon off road.
