    You gotta take the dash panel under the steering wheel off, probably take the 90° off the air vent system, and then just two little Phillips head bolts hold the switch on.

    Just taking the white thing off the back, you might have to unclip a wiring harness somewhere, can’t remember for sure.

    If anything you’ll figure it out more as you go.

    Being dual locked is a game changer if you do any technical wheeling.

    I only use my front locker like a quarter of the time I use my rear, but it gets me over obstacles I couldn't without it.

    It’s been like that for the better part of three weeks. Probably won’t get to it for another week or two.
