As far as the switch goes, I don't think so. But with the hubs yes. Remove the rubber tube that runs from the inner fender-well to the nuckle. Plug both ends with rubber vacuum caps. Then, replace OEM auto/lock hubs with WARN Premiums.

that is no different then the ones I have on there now. They are factory but you still have to turn them to lock them on the wheels and then get back in and throw it in 4x4. So it's not completley automatic.
