Heard they were very strong units, just need to get the cable set up properly so it won't be a PITA with use. Reason for wanting an OX?

thanks for the info and pics, i like it because it seems simple you dont have to worry about air lines or small gauged wires getting broke.

The first gen units had cable issues, but current models are fine. Know a bunch of guys with em.

The cable is far more durable than an air line, and the diff cover is machined from billet steel. Its incredibly strong.

I have seen them break quite a few times on the trails. and when they werent breaking we were all waiting on them to adjust the wire to make it work right... go with a full time locker if you can.

i have a set of these waiting to be installed
im hoping they are as strong as they claim to be

from the looks of it they are pretty tuff
its just the cable that needs adjusting, which is kind of wierd
