Default Need help... Swapping Rubicon Axles into Sport

I'm swapping these Rubicon axles, and I have an issue... I cannot, for the life of me, find the part number for the plug that goes into the locker actuator. At the dealer, I guess they are in two different diagrams, so they can't figure it out either.

I need the connector that goes into this.

Funny you post this now. I ordered one from Amazon yesterday and the P/N is P5155359. When I called my local dealer the only they could find was in Phoenix, AZ and it was $41.20 plus tax and shipping. I think I paid a total of $45 and it will ship to the house.

Actually I was looking for someone who upgraded their Rubi axles and went with an ARB locker to see about getting the plug and some wire. Just did not happen and I am impatient so I ordered it. How I got the part number was a couple of other members gave it to me and just thought I would pass it along.

You can buy the rubicon wire harness that includes both plugs as well as the swaybar disconnect.

eh i dunno kind of a waste of money if you ask me. When I had my rubi that electronic sway bar thingy never worked right and is not as effective as just going straight disconnect (JKS discos for the win) or an antirock. The rubi locker harness is limited in terms of locking what you want and gets a bit twitchy when you want to lock or unlock. I just straight wired the axles into my sport wih a toggle switch and havent had a problem

You find a junk yard harness and cut the plugs off. Nowhere did I say try and use the harness to control the lockers because you can't.

$45 for a 2 pin connector?! That's just crazy. Reminds of when computer/audio cables jumped up to the same price range from 8 to 10 bucks. God help us all.
