Rubicon locking differential?
How does the electronic locking differentials on the Rubicon model stack up? Has anybody had significant problems with the rubicon model lockers?
I have a Sahara with ARB air locking differentials. No complaints thus far, except that the air hose melted due to it being routed through a hot spot.

I know people have had problems with them but talking with some non-jk 4 wheelrs they are actaully inmpress that jeep installed a 4 gear locker. I guess the cheapo versions have a 2 gear engagement. So the locker isn't horrible, it's just a matter of reliability trusting all those electronics.
