No more OX lockers???

[badbronco]

Why? Not enough demand?

From what I was reading on POR, OX is still around and they are just about to come out with the OX for the 60. It sounded like you don't buy from a distributor anymore, but just directly from OX.

I'll bet if they lowered their price, they wouldn't keep'em on their shelf!<br><br> :-U

there was a recent post about an electric locker coming available.Might have been a trak lock or true trak.

Their website is still up. http://www.oxtrax.com/

There are two issues going on - one is ox and superior are in a legal suit so now you can no longer buy OX products from places that superior supplied. 2nd - I have been told that OX is re-designing the OX for the 44 and it won't be re-released till late spring or summer next year.<br><br>If the electro-trac can handle the abuse of larger tires, I think that would be the better choice. When unlocked it is a gear driven limited slip, when electrically locked it is a spool - sounds perfect for use up front.

I'm pretty sure the redesign concerns modifying the actuator fork to use an electric solenoid, instead of the cables that current OX's use.<br><br>I've co-installed OX's in D30's and D44's, and after putting a few months of street and crawling duty on them, think they're the ultimate traction aid. For street driving, towing, etc, they're invisible-completely open. No popping, clanking, clicking, ratcheting, no air lines to leak, no compressor to wire up- nothing. When engaged, it's like the axles are welded together- no slip at all. Axles and U-joints lead an easier life when they're not subjected to "shock" loadings. <br><br>Think about it...when you need a locker, you NEED a LOCKER. When you don't..well, it might as well be an open diff. With the OX's YOU get to decide- and can engage/disengage them whenever you feel like it. Those diff covers/skidplates are damn usefull, too- we drug them over ridges, shoved boulders around, and mowed down a few tree stumps without hardly scratching them. What's not to like?

I just visited their website and e-mailed them because they asked for applications they should build. I suggested the ford 9" and their response was its on the drawing board. My point is it seems to me like they're up and running.<br><br>will
