Ox now makes a Dana 30 selectable locker.

http://www.ox-usa.com/

You could contact them about their "Super 30" set-up....if you want additional options to consider.

eaton E-Locker is eletric and should work well for you. I think you can even install that one yourself.

I'm curious why you don't want to use an auto locker. I had an Aussie in my TJ's D30, and NEVER had an issue. For less than $300, it was the best bang for the buck.

Agreed. I have one in my JK and it was $230 and I installed it myself in less than 2 hours.

Did you do a write-up? (didn't see one...)

And, do you have guidamce on that?

I clicked on Northridge's JK section, and they didn't list any lockers but ARB...

I've seen some evidence that makes me think that dana 30's changed from 06, 07 and 08....like the carriers?

I have a 3.73 for example, and that's a traditional cut point on carriers....etc.

So - any thoughts, wisdom, hands on with it?

I've seen EZ lockers, and so forth (Lunch Box lockers,,,) this sounds similar.

Is this a Torsen type BTW? The description is vague, but similar.
