Me!!
I've using Eaton E-Lockers in my front and rear axles for 3 years without any problems what so ever.
I sell them on my site.
I recommend them to everyone ahead of any other selectable locker.
I've installed many of them.
Put me down as a true believer.
EATON E-Locker FTW!!

Oh yes, it most certainly is.
It's a 100% open diff intill you push a button to energize the electro-magnet in the locker...and your locked.
Another push and your back to an open diff.
It doesn't get any easier than that.
No cable to adjust.
No compressor to add to your rig.
No airlines to install and repair.

I don't have the coin for an E=locker.. but want one for my front. I wheel with a group of guys with either arb's or E-lockers and the E-lockers have had less issues IN MY GROUP, only seen one fail... and it was shorted and replaced under warranty. but seams like the arb's are going threw seals and leak internally... one buddy has replaced his seals(at the diff bearing) 3 times in 4 years, a lot of work to redo every year IMO....

Don't mean to step on toes but does anyone have experience with the OX cable locker? Would you recommend it vs an e-locker?

only know one guy who has them and he has said he likes them, (F+R) of his TJ, but said he wished he would have gotten an Eaton E-locker... never said why. I think it would be a good option but stretching cables and binding sifters would worry me lol but i do over think things...

I have arbs front and rear. If I ever do it again I will go with electric. I rather fix a wire than an air line and not have to worry about the pump failing.
