just worked out how to engage the rear factory diff lock without going into 4wd.

i have step by step process of how to do it but just wondering if anyone has these options on a aus delivered 80 or how many of you own a sahara..

would anyone like to know how to do it?

Ive got a Sahara, so pass on your info..as it would be good to have that option...the thing ive been trying to find out is how to stop them auto disabling when you get over a certain speed

it has a speed sensor in the diff lock controll box.
i have bypassed this and have done 80k with it still in..

ill get all the stuff together and do a write up.

I fixed this on the missus 80 when i first got it. The axle difflock ECU has a wire from the speed sensor Pre 08/92 speed sensor for the progressive powersteering/cruise control, post 08/92 from the electronic speedo i just pulled this wire out of the plug at the ECU ( can be snipped but i wanted it reversable ) and there you go the ECU gets no speed signal and stays engaged until you turn it off at the switch. its that easy can have a look at wire colour plug position number if required.
