I guess you could say in a way a pot smoking bum technically is a creation of mother nature along with the environment that creature is presented in but maybe not.

Maybe it all is human caused along with global warming atleast within the California borders..

Back to lockers, I flat out love my welded rear and grizzly front.. though I use it very little during snowy conditions my pickup works much better as a highway and around town snow rig

I have yet to drive mine with both ends locked on the highway in snowy conditions. I have a new Detroit I need to baptize as well as a Spartan I got for free. I have an extra that can be bought if anyone is interested

OX locker the perfect switchable locker for an XJ

Both have a disadvantage. ARBs, you have to protect the air line. Loose it and you loose your lockers. OX, a really long cable and where to you run it and where do you put the handle. The ARB is easiest to use of the two.

A long cable is hard to rout and can stretch - however, a short cable leading to a solenoid with wires following you stock harness makes the OX locker the perfect switchable locker for an XJ

I have a 2017 Jeep Wrangler JKU & purchased the ARB RD116. Turns out I needed the RD117 & need to sell the RD116 now, if anyone knows someone in the market for the RD116, have them msg me for more info - it's brand new, already drilled bolt holes & pressed bearings. My costly mistake can be someone else's lucky break to pay a lot less!
