Default Best lockers????

I'm trying to decide what to do with my locker situation. I currently don't have any but i want some, bad. I don't want full time lockers. I was woundering what would be best i was thinking mechanical but wasn't sure are or electric are also an option. What is your guy's opinion?

personally, if i were to spend 1000 bux plus on a locker, it would be an OX.

but for price and reliability, i like my cheap-a$$ lock-rites.

Walter, for selctable locker you're going to spend some big bucks. I like selectable. I had an Auburn gear in my front axle for a while, but after 2 failures I gave up ... altho they did send me a brand new locker each time. Excellent no hassle warranty, but when you're paying someone to install it gets pricey real quick.

I currently have an electric Eaton in the front & no issues so far (knock wood). I'm thinking of eventually putting an OX in the rear, but I'm currently running a Powertrax auto locker. There's also ARB. People swear by the ARB & the OX, but I think many of the pro's and cons come down to proper installation & how much you want to spend. Personally I wouldn't do ARB because it involves another additional part to break that I don't know how to fix .
