That's pretty cool, it's now on my "when I'm rich" list.
Is it a true locker, or is it a limited slip unit?
I imagine that a true locker would be overkill for a front axle on a vehicle that doesn't see much in the way of hardcore off-roading, but converting an open to limited slip is appealing. My old Scout had limited slip front and rear and would go almost anywhere
And, I second the question on installation cost...I'm mechanically inclined, but I've heard that, unless you have experience setting gear preload and/or have someone with experience to babysit you, this really isn't a DIY project... (I should point out that, for me, this would be coupled with a gearing change)
Since I didnt do a gear swap, The only thing I had to worry about is backlash... As long as it's within spec your good to go. The installation is pretty simple, Anyone with a little bit of mechanical knowledge should be able to pull this off. Just do your homework.
I have a loud ting-ting-ting when rolling in 4x4, haven't pinpointed the noise yet.
I would love an Ox-Locker! Jon - How hard was it to install? Do you have to buy a custom length cable?
To the OP - hope you don't mind this thread evolving in to a locker thread!
