Default lockers

Needing some opinions. I'm starting to look at lockers more seriously. hopefully going to pull the trigger on a setup soon... I have been wanting to go with the ox locker for awhile now, but im concerned about issues with the cable system adj. etc.. So anyone have any experience with the eaton E locker, or the Auburn electronic locker.
Probably going to do a locker in the rear 44 for now and leave the front 30 open until I can just afford a dana 44 front upgrade stuffed with a locker in package.. dont wanna spend the money to lock the 30 just to ditch it later.

Thanks for the link. Yes I really like the true trac idea for my front IF I decide to do something with the 30. But like I said if I can save up the cash for a Dana 44 front I'm gonna lock it. Seems like two electric locker would be the most maintenance free.

I would just go with the Eaton E-locker or ARB, unless Auburn lowers their prices.

I am saving up for the Eaton E-Locker.

I know 2 people that have had issues with there E-Lockers. One was internal, they just kept eating gears up every year, he replaced it with a ARB. The other was electrical sometimes it would engage and sometimes it wouldn't, not sure what he ended up doing.

I know quite a few people running OX and they love them, never seen any issues with the cable.

Personally I run ARB's and like them.

I have heard a lot of good things about OX lockers, but those were YJ guys, havent seen too many with JK's. When I get the coin, I think they (OX) are the way I am going to go. Heard they are very strong and reliable.
