The only distributor that I know of is Drivetrain Direct. I think they're the exclusive distributor. The price comes out to a hair under 750 a piece. I worked out a deal with DTD because I also bought gears and install kits from them too. The entire order came to a hair under 2k with shipping and everything. DTD was a great outfit to deal with and they really know their shit backwards and forward. No complaints there.Originally posted by Convertiyota:

What does that 2K include? If I bought the locker from them, could any gear place or 4x4 shop set it up? What I am trying to figure out is cost for one locker plus setting it up in the diff.Originally posted by Jakesteramalamajama:

The 2k covered the units themselves, the cables and shifters (at $749 a piece, I think) 4.27 Genuine Spicer R&P Gears, and DTD overhaul kits (Timken bearings, shims and whatnot, etc.)Originally posted by jeepintim:

Does anyone know how complicated they are to install?</STRONG>
We were talking about the Ox internals, tough guy. <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0"> It's a relative term.Originally posted by Aggro:
<STRONG>BEEFY!?? You are talking about dana 44's and 30's right??? How do the 30/44 and beefy go together??!!</STRONG>
The cover is heavy. Almost as thick as the rest of the pumpkin and made from stronger stuff (billet vs cast).Originally posted by badfish:
<STRONG>I looked into them but I deceided against for the reason of the shift fork mounted on the diff cover. I'm sure it's is just me but I've been known to use my f&r diff cover as bumpers. So I was worried about the shift fork. $.02 <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"></STRONG>
Tha cover IS beef, but what about the little shifter cable being ripped smashed or otherwise mutilitated bu the rocks? <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0"> I like the simplistic design of the OX but...?Originally posted by Jakesteramalamajama:

<STRONG>Good point. No rocks where I live. The front is less vulnerable than the rear because the front comes in so close to the spring (at least in a YJ it does). Since I run SUA (RE 4.5) the front is pretty well protected.

As for running them with an SOA suspension, I'd think a fella could fab up some kinda bolt-on bar to protect that brass flange that comes out of the side of the diff cover. That's probably what would break if you hit a rock just right. (just wrong?) Anyhow, like I said--no rocks where I live and I have SUA anyway, so I'm not too worried about it.
