Same thing still applies. You remove the cover, you have to readjust.


It's an external shifter assembly (so to speak).

BigRed ... you might want to check your friendly CF vendors. You might be pleased with the prices you are quoted for the ARB.

I PM'd you EndlessMtnFab. My vote is goin for ARB at this point. I have never heard anything bad about the air locker and ARB for that matter. OBA does sound very nice too. However the E-locker did catch my attention, maybe some more research...

I ran a Ox for 1 season...and hated it. melted 2 cables and had to constantly adjust the cable.

I'm running Eaton E-lockers now and they are great.

Don't confuse the E-Locker with the Auburn ECTED (not a true mechanical locker).

Not to be confused with the Detroit SelecTrac either (that has been discontinued).

Default An OX locker with the electric solenoid

An OX locker with the electric solenoid switched on the dash is quick to engage or disengage and is considerably cheaper then a ARB. OX doesn't require an onboard compressor and never leaks

Why dig up 2 10+ year old threads to talk about a topic that you have already covered in a recent one? Has California got people in a lockdown again?

Lockers were hard to come buy during the lock down is that still the case?

Please California don't lock down cause then Oregon and Idaho follow I'm tired of working my *** off to fund someone else's unemployment benefits

Well that is a question here. The gov won't do that again I think. Governor is facing recall over it and it doesn't look good for him

Mother nature? What is that from, some 1970s margirine commercial?

One of the large fires is suspected of being started by a drug addicted woman (mother nature?) who had a crack pipe incident in the forest. Other fires have been started do to campfires, illegal pot farms, smokers, electric power facilities. Sure some fires are lightning started, but a crackhead started one of the larger fires now burning.

In my town, we had a bum camp catch fire a couple weeks ago, took out some tents and lots garbage, and a couple of trees, located in a childrens play park. Gawd dam city keeps allowing these bums to take over parks. California values I guess.
