Default Anyone Running an OX locker ?

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with an OX locker . I'm looking into getting one for my front Dana 44 . I need a selectable and I'm trying to stay away from the ARB as I do not want the wiring and extra cost of a compressor . OX seems to be they way to go as they are mechanical and come with a new cover already set up for the locker . In the rear I'm going to get a Detroit , that was the simple choice . Thoughts and comments welcome .

you cant install a minispool without your front DS spinning all the time.

An ARB locker or Ox locker is way over my budget.

regardless of any locker you put in the front won't your driveshaft turn anyway? Unless you use An ARB or Ox locker i think you wouldn't have much of a choice.

If you put any locker or spool up front I hope you don't plan on turning too much. You may want to think about upgrading your U joints and steering system to keep everything from frying. I have a limited slip up front and it hates to turning left or right. I can't imagine a locker.

It's mostly a weekend driver/toy, guess it won't matter.

Besides, what's the point of having a 3wd 4x4?

This is why I am asking about an OX locker . It is selectable so I can Lock when I need it .

You can see where the selectable locker would have been a great help climbing up. Then once i'm back up onto the road I simply unlock .

I'm just looking for someone who has one to give me some feedback .
