Yes indeed.

Mine did the same thing when I was installing my locker. Were you able to repair it or did you have a new one?

I had a new one sent to me. My issue was that the locker kit didn't come with a necessary bracket to hold the seal housing in place. So the seal housing was moving more than it should. Eventually the line broke.
 
I couldn't find a good picture in your thread... How do you stow your sway bar when the JKS discos are disconnected?
 
Nothing new going on with the WJ build but I did get to use my working lockers on Holy Cross this weekend. Such a fun trail. So glad to have that fixed.

Got to stay at the Delaware Hotel which is featured in Eddie and Cindy's 'Keep It Tight' series. That is a really neat hotel.

Got some undercarriage damage but nothing serious.

Not sure what I'm doing next with this thing. I'm debating a longarm kit so I can lift it another inch for tire clearance and still have some road comfort. But then again, it will be driven even less when we get the JT. I do need to replace one of the front control arms because a bushing blew out and I would hate to buy one and then get long arms after that.

Nice battle scars! I don’t know what it’s like to have lockers yet, but soon, and I can imagine it’s a great feeling/experience.

That would suck to buy one arm just to upgrade soon after.
 
Looks like you had a blast on Holy Cross. Tough decision on the WJ. But then again one can't have enough Jeeps. The LA kit would be pretty awesome. Does it make as much of a difference going from the factory arms like it does in the JK's?
 
Take it from somebody who did short arms and then went long arms. Go longarms. It rides so much smoother and feels way better on the trail then factory or short arms. I would upgrade to a 6.5 personally. It allows for killer flex and will clear 35s with almost no rubbing. I’ve ran that setup since 2012 and it’s been killer
