Shouldn't be any issue. If it comes with any kind of extra tap in the cover you'd just have to plug it.

When I bought aftermarket covers I looked for ones that had drain holes at the bottom of them. Makes servicing the differentials a lot easier not having to pull the covers and reseal them.

Most all covers that are any good ay all will accept lockers, I have Detroit Lockers in mine.

personally I prefer to inspect the gears so that's not a big deal... Just curious if I can use an ox cover without a locker being it's meant for one

If you frequently take your cover off look into lube locker gasket. No mess easy on and off. I've got em on mine and have taken em off a few times with no issue. The covers should work fine. If it's a big worry just email OX with your concern and I'm sure they will be happy to clear things up for ya
