Well, i've always been an ARB man myself, but ive started to toy with the idea of an OX as well, which got me to thinkin about this poll
Let's hear it people-- hearing why you chose what you did wouldnt hurt as well.

There is no need for selectable lockers in my opinion. Full Detroit lockers are all you need. Butter smooth on the road and awesome in the woods.

until they kill your turning radius and ability to steer in slick conditions under certain circumstances
its nice to have complete control

it was nice having an arb up front. only use it when you have to.
Ox apparently have a problem with the cables.
and e lockers have gotta suck(only cause i hate electricronics)
arb tried and true

X2 I can't remember the last time I saw a selectable locker work properly. apparently u closed your eyes when corey was driving at paragon?  I am getting an OX for the 44 for the summer, this is why i put OX above the other 2........ all things fail at one point or another, its the ability to fix them that makes the difference, i believe it be MUCH easier to fix the snape'd cable or spring on an OX that the electrical system in the E lokcer or the air compressor on the ARB, thast my reasoning.... and that OX diff cover is badass |

You did not see any arbs fail
You prolly saw Air line snags or pinches. (poor install)
air lines are simple to fix
Compressors suck when they dont work.
I think an electric locker is just a bad idea. But thats just me.
Just for the record when i saw the ox at elias 4wd center it was very impresssive looking. even the shifter is badass.
have no idea how well it works though

I vote OX. seems to be the most simple/reliable design. and comes with a dookin' cover.
Arb would be next, and it gives you a good excuse to get a compressor.
Then comes the E-locker. I like the idea of having it a limited slip until you lock it. But there is enough electrical problems in my jeep as it is. I also have read that the reliabilty is questionable.

IF I had the money, I would do OX front and back. So that on the stret, in the snow, when I put 4x4 on, I can actually steer. lol
I dunno, I have not driven my Aussie in the snow yet, so I wont know how its gonna handel yet, I don't really care though to be honest. If a FWD car can do it, my Jeep can too!
