Thank you so much! I could not find anywhere where to do this. I heard rumor it was possible. You have cleared this up for me and confirmed it works! Thaks again! Happy New year!
@@FischerJeepAdventures I bought a Tazer mini. The front can be run in 4 high now as well as the rear locked in 2wd. Plus a ton of other fun stuff that Jeep should have allowed from the factory. Best $300 I've spent.
Unfortunately jeeps programing the lockers will only work once 4 wheel drive is engaged, hopefully jeep will see that the community wants these features and will add them in
Tratzpatratz, the rear locker and the front locker for that matter engages both wheels from a drive standpoint regardless of the traction on one side or the other, with open differentials if one tire begins to spin you loose drive capacity as all the power flood to the wheel with the least resistance which often results in getting stuck, with the axle locked you get equal power on both tires which often is all you need to keep going, helpful in mud, sand, rocks, snow, etc anywhere where traction is need, not so much in regular driving as when turning the inside axle spins less and the outside axle spins more so having an unlocked axle is necessary when turning on pavement to allow for the difference
Timothy, I am not sure try putting it in 4 high and then holding the traction control button for several seconds and see if if stability control flashes off and try it
Tazer JL will solve that and then some. Worth the buy especially if you have to adjust for bigger tires. Has a bunch of features that essentially jailbreaks your jeep. lol
Ruslan Merinov, sorry to hear that I wonder whats different about the European version? You might try buying the tazer JL from z automotive, it has alot of settings you can change one of which will allow the lockers to work, its pricy at $330.00 us but it does do alot of thing to the programming of the computer which adds allot of customization capability, check them out
@@FischerJeepAdventures yes, which turns off traction control, then i hold traction control button until ESS turns off, so far so good, but when pushing locker lever down for rear lockers screen says 4LO required. See gladiator forum, others having same issue--Jeep never fixed this for 2020 JTR! (only later years)
@lawnews, sorry to hear that, it seems like the jeep community overwhelmingly wants this option to be available, I wish they would listen to their customers. I have heard the tazer jl can override the factory settings to allow it, have you looked into that product, it does a ton of other stuff too!
@@FischerJeepAdventures yes i've heard of Taser, just wondering if there are reasons why Jeep has not fixed this for 2020 (hardware reasons). Don't want to void warranty, have probs.

Outstanding! Happy new year to you!
Thank you! I had no idea this was possible! Awesome!
Absolutely!!
Just looked it up in the owner’s manual? Sure enough, it’s is there, lol!
Excellent!
Just watched your video and tried it on my jeep it worked great. Thank you.
Steve Doty, thanks and awesome glad it helped get it working for you! Enjoy the trails
Super sick feature. Thanks for the education.
Thank you for checking out the channel, hopefully jeep will make it a feature that is simply activated by the switch in the future
Cool, My ZR2 has done this for years. About time Jeep.
It seems like it would have been a no brainer to just give it as a standard option
Cool 😎
Thanks for watching!
Very cool. Now just need to figure out how to turn on the front in 4 high.
That would be something, i believe its electronically connected to the low range selector though, thanks for checking out the channel

Awesome, I have had that on a want list plan on getting one now before summer hits
@@FischerJeepAdventures dude you really need it! After you buy it you'll wonder why you didn't get it sooner. Lol
Awesome! Thanks for the tip.
You bet!
can you use the rear locker and two wheel High
Unfortunately jeeps programing the lockers will only work once 4 wheel drive is engaged, hopefully jeep will see that the community wants these features and will add them in
Does that work on a 2018 JK with traction control and advanced trac off?
I am not sure if it works on a jk or not but worth a try!
New to the Jeep.
What benefit does this provide?
is this for driving in Snow on a highway, for example? or still more of an off-roading application?

@@FischerJeepAdventures ah ok great thanks
Awesomeness
Indeed!
This only works for newer rubicons that have the off road plus button. Older models didn’t have that button and won’t lock in 4 high.
Coop427, thanks for clarifying that it works only if you have a jeep model with the off-road plus button
Yeah I was wondering that myself. I am sitting here thinking, wait a minute, my 19 doesn't have that.
Thanks for the video👍
Abaolutely!
Awesome thx!
I hope jeep will revise their programing to allow for the use of it in 4 high without the extra steps!!
I have tried several time with my 2020 gladiator and it will not lock the rear.....any ideas????
Just a quick question will it lock like normal when in 4 low?
yes
@@FischerJeepAdventures
The 2018 JL rubicon does not have the off road plus button. Does that mean you can’t lock the rear diff in 4 wheel high ?

My JK with one tons and ARBs doesn't have this problem, lol.
I bet 👍
thanks - it worked on my gadiator mojave
Awesome!
Not working on European version JLUR 2020 with 2.0 gas

This is in the owners manual. Read the manual.
Thanks for pointing that out, for those people like me who choose not to read the manual cover to cover the video will help them out

I am not sure, I am not familiar with the JK software but it’s worth a try!
