I'm team Base and in the same boat. I looked at the Sastquach and, well, I'm no @justinbmcbride and anything I do off road is a lot less than what my Base can handle.
Now, that said, I am thinking of adding rear lockers, because why not. Bit that's a far future project.
So the answer is yes and no. All Broncos are wired for installation. But they're missing the controller and wires running aft. For Broncos like the Base, where towing wasn't an option you need to buy the controller kit and do the install. If you want the dealer to do it it's ~12-18hrs of work...
If the switch triggers an open/close response then you should be able to pin the location, run it to a separate relay that triggers the lockers to open/close. Which should be enough to to a ABR compressor on/off.
Otherwise, yeah you'd need all the stock wiring and some computer wizardry to have...
I actually wanted them for their intended purpose (redif locker) and I enjoy having things look factory that shouldn't be.
For instance a project I'm looking at is putting the 12" monitor into my Base. As far as I can tell the head units are all the same, it's just switching out the monitor & trim.
Possibly, but I don't always have winch points to drag myself out of.
@HoosierDaddy If the hero switches were powered individually then it would work, but I think they're all on a single bus.
I hadn't thought of going past 30s for tyres. I only wanted a rear locker for times when I'm out and get hung up in sand or mud, but I'm not into rock crawling or anything terribly serious. That's one of the reasons I got the base w/o the sas upgrade.
Alright, I thought I had the 4.10 but I have an open 4.46. Do you know if the ring gear is welded on that one as well? Is that a problem with all open diffs?
