I am curious why you put the eLocker in the back and not the front? I live in a snow state (maybe not as much as Calgary) and it would seem to make more sense to put a LSD in the rear and the locker in the front. I'd only want the locker when crawling rocks in a straight line, but I'll use the LSD all winter long.
-Less stress on am already weak d30 compared to a full locker
-Front flexes more and has more weight than the rear keepin the wheels on the ground. so the auto traction will be more usefull up front in my mind . as soon as a tire is off the ground it loses any usefullness
- if the roads are messy in the winter the rear end likes to kick out anyway, locked or not. And its even worse with the true trac (experienced by many in my local club) i usually put it in 4wheel on those days, making use of the front TT. having it in the front pulls the jeep forward(think benefits of front wheel drive in snow)
whether any of that makes sense or not, its some of my reasons anyway. Mostly the less stress on the front axle thing. And having my rear wheels off the ground more often I wanted to be able to fully lock that.
Dont most vehicles that come with an elocker usually put it in the rear? The fj. Some military vehicles
Stay muddy my friends

Spent the weekend doing the biggest mod I've ever done... Installed a Warn Elite bumper on the Rubi. Not too tough, but a lot of wrench cranking!
Small change for some of y'all, but a biggie for me!

Made an ugly but functional tailpipe after I relocated the muffler on my 2 door. I just used leftover exhaust pieces I had laying around.
I tried a turn down after the muffler but it was so loud and a really bad drone. My exhaust sounds good now and is still a little louder than I like but it is tolerable.
