ox locker

[76K5]

Has anyone tried running the Ox locker on their Dana 44 in front. I have heard cable lockers suck, but these are supposed to be better. Thanks for the help.

If in doubt, gun it.

They're available for Dana 44's now.

Haven't seen one in real life yet to ask how the owner likes it.

I thought ARB's were cool when I first heard about them, then I talked to a few hundred people on various trail rides that had problems with theirs.

I'll wait a while to see what the verdict is for the Ox.

I am excited about the possibility of OX Lockers on a K5 too!!!

It would be nice to have open-diffs for street driving, and hard-core locked diffs for the serious off-road stuff.

From what I've read....every piece of the assembly is machined, there are no cast parts, or welded parts. That seems like a pretty bulletproof way to do it!!!!

Bulletproof is all relative of course.....some people could break a crowbar in a sandbox!

I look at it like this.
1. Dont EVER rule out the 45% idiots ratio in total percent of all complaints recieved/veiwed about something mechnical breaking/not functioning.
1A. Stupid foot: refer to the above.

2. First run production errors happens in cars, trucks, and anything else.

3. Sitting back and letting someone else spend the $800+ to make it to the end of the trail you already made it thru(and you have the tatto, t-shirt, and copy rights), with the die hard old stuff, to get to the harder trail they only dreamed of is fine by me.

4. This is a great time to watch the price of the ARB go down.
