Thats crazy how big that 40 looks on the carrier. Its freakish..lol..
You did an awesome job on this build. When you use it a few times would you mind sending me a PM on the OX. I want to run OX, but my buddy says they are very problematic. Im pretty sure that he is talkin the old style because I could swear I read somewhere that they worked out a lot of the stuff they were having issues with. I like the idea of havin a locker that I have complete contol over. No air, no electricity. Simple cable engagement design.

Yeah it took me a good part of a day but once you get it adjusted it works great and I also don't have the lever for mine I decided to put the new ox electric accuator on so my switches for the front and rear lockers match, when I had it on the trails I switched the lockers on and off a lot only useing them when I lost traction then back off when I didn't need them and never failed to engage
