Anyone using these at all in sals?
I am thinking about them instead of ARBs and then get custom shafts built.

Are they even still in business? I thought I'd heard somewhere that they were out of business. :confused:

The do make 30 spline Dana 60 versions. So they would go into front and rear Salsburys, would then need shafts.
I hadn't heard of them going out of bus nore any issues of crappiness.
One reason I was asking :) If there is an issue with quality I will just stick with the ARB plan.
Don't know why but something about the cable activation is just cool to me.

Stupid question....but given that I've never looked at an ARB I"ll ask it anway. Why couldn't you mod the ARB to be cable actuated? I assume there is some sort of piston that the air moves and that operated the diff lock. How hard would it be to attache a cable end to it?

Given that I've never heard of anyone doing it before, I guess maybe it isn't so straight forward.

SEARCH. OX's have a very poor rep here on P4x4.

I did. Only real complaint I found other then price was that they are "touchy" to engage, but it was due to the fact that you are manually applying the pressure so you notice it versus the ARBs.
I see also that a lot of people use them and had good things to say about them.
I see that there are issues with the company but nothing real derogatory about the lockers them selves, maybe I just didnt go back far enough :confused:
I was wondering if anyone was using them in a Rover yet :)
Thanks
