"Should be ok" is the spec I always go with.
I thought the same
I love the simplicity of the manual/cable locker. Seems bullet proof, and much easier on the pocket book as well.
8 Years on and still good quality video!
The ox with cable locker would be the best I think, no airline or electric to foul and once it’s engaged no slop
That's what I'm thinking fewer moving parts. Nothing electrical or pneumatic.
Except the air actuated version has no slop either
thanks for the video helps one understand the workings and how they do the job.
😀🙋♂️ that was so cool to watch.... thanks for uploading the video brotha.
amazing video ox are the best for me
Very interesting,learned something today,thank you
awesome video
Could you get by without the cable? Keeping it open on the road and use the bolt to lock it when you’re on the trail?
I’m getting ready to pull the trigger on one for my Dana 80 rear. What is the probability id have to re-shim?
I have a 2016 JKUR, and my front locker is starting to go. How often are the shims not good to go on an install like this?
Are they available for frong and rear diff for Ford Ranger Wildtrax ?
what protects those little plastic fittings?
I dont know if you'll reply to this, but worth a shot. Do you guys make one or be willing to modify one to fit in a suzuki samurai axle? Or are they just too small?
Thanks for helping me understand.
Of course! We can also always be reached by phone or e-mail, or visit our website at www.ox-usa.com
@@OxOffRoad Good video. Would've liked to see the air actuator for the fork inside the cover.
hello, do you have it for ssang yong rexton (KSC R90).THANK YOU
is this compatible to toyota hilux surf?
Hi! Is there an OX locker made to fit a Suzuki sj or samurai?
Do you make them for the Toyota 3rd member
Looks like that air feeding or the place to put the cable could get smashed off real easy in the woods or on a rock so I don't know
Always make sure you are standing in-between the camera and the object. It keeps the viewer in the dark.
Great video and info - why wouldn’t you use a gasket?? Thank you got you answer
We do not recommend one because the clearance between the shift fork in the cover and the lock ring on the carrier is optimized without the gasket thickness.
@@OxOffRoad couldn't that have been taken into consideration during the design phase?
@@corksauve4949 Yes it actually was, the closer the fork to the lock ring without touching the better. If we optimized with the gasket installed when someone installed without a gasket just using RTV the fork would bind with lock ring. The difference is pretty insignificant it really doesn't matter gasket or not.
Is there a manually/cable operated ox locker for mitsubishi l200 2004 4x4 2.5l turbo diesel, k74 chassis. Might also be know as the Strada: Thailand made vehicle , popular in Australia and the UK.
I'd rather have a cable system.
Do you make it with a cable setup?
Yes
Como lo puedo comprar para una camioneta Toyota modelo 89
Time to stop looking at youtube videos and internet threads I´ve found what im looking for
Glad to hear it!
@@OxOffRoad hi, i have a hyundai galloper 2001 2.5 tci, diff ratio 4.88 and i would like to know if you make lockers for that car? Thank you
have they improved where that elbow is attached? im thinking not the best location. maybe on top.
It would be nice to have the fitting on top, however to maintain compatibility between the shifting systems the location remains in the same place. Some people fashion a guard over the port for added protection.
this is best of both lockable diff
but is it better than ARB or E-lockers well a user of all three can make a better comment
Hey, great stuff! Does this locker work for tacoma and 4runner? I love that it's a physical cable!
At what point in the video did you see a cable locker?
@@deepandhard803 when he touches the flymbop with kunglu
no, bro! ur fwd tacoma has a pretty good locker already between the steering wheel and the seat.
Is there a locker for an 8” Toyota diff?
Not as of now. The issue with the 8" Toyota is that it has no cover, which is integral to our lockers' shifting system.
sir, can I also modify my 2001 Isuzu trooper LS limited slip differential with ox locker
Not sure what your axle is, but it would likely be easier to swap out the whole axle assembly with a Dana 44 or OX compatible axle assembly
Not having casket wouldn’t that Allow mud and dirt to get in there?
Mate you can have the correct backlash but that does in anyway mean the gears are meshing correctly how many diffs have you destroyed with people not setting them correctly like you have ?
Couldn't tell you for sure how many we have destroyed, we haven't heard of any yet, but by the current video views it could be as many as 198,512. This is not a ring and pinion setup instructional video it is a general information video to show the process of installing a locker which just switches out the carrier without messing with the pinion setup and assumes a proper gear setup prior to disassembly. There are many details not in the video in the interest of not making a 2 hour video. The locker comes with a complete set of instructions that covers everything. If you need any help with your setup let us know we would be glad to help.
Do u offer a cable locker for a Dana 80? Looking for a cable actuated setup if one exists for said axle
Unfortunately no, we do not have anything on offer or in the works for a Dana 80.
Any for a 2001 dodge diesel 2500
Ya find the type of diff you have and get the locker for it
Why do you recommend using silicone instead of a gasket when installing the diff cover?
It doesn't really make much difference, a gasket can be used. The only reason we make the recommendation is the gasket moves the cover and fork assembly away from the lock ring that it engages in. With no gasket the distance is closer optimum. The closer the fork is to the lock ring without radial contact the better. Honestly the small distance is fairly insignificant. If I have a choice between a nice reusable gasket like a lube locker style or the silicone would run the gasket.
@@OxOffRoad Makes sense, I'm not a fan of silicone when a gasket could be used. Thanks for the explanation!
Is there an OX loker for a land cruiser 75(single cab year 1998)?
Currently no Toyota products, unfortunately
@@OxOffRoad do you plan on making any yota products
There is no any wire or switch on the lock, how to ture it on or off?
Yes assuming your speaking of the example in the video. A pneumatic switch is supplied to port the air to the cover for locking, and throwing the switch to unlock will release the pressure to allow the return springs in the locker to unlock it.
OX LOCKERS for Dana 70?
I want it, unfortunately, I see that your locking diff won’t work on the front diff of my ‘17 Tacoma.
Ya it sucks I want them to put a set in my 97runner but thay are not made for a 3rd member
Hi guy. I have Chinese pick up Foton Tunland. It has Dana 44. This OX diff locker is universal for all models of Dana 44 or it has different models too?
Its hard to say We have seen some differences in the past. The main thing we would need to see is if the differential cover has the same bolt pattern. If that is the same it usually is no problem.
@@OxOffRoad are you official representative of OX? Do you have e mail?
@@QWERTYqwerty-nj6bx just email support@ox-usa.com
HELLO THERE ... APPLICATION FOR JEEP CJ5 ??
JEEP CJ5, 70s
What brand of vehicles are these made for?
Almost any Jeep product, and many other axles. You can find our application guide here ox-usa.com/content/15-vehicle-applications
I really wish you guys had more lockers. I have a hard time understand why you guys carry lockers for the d30 and d35 but not a gm 14 bolt. Or the Dana 70. I dont understand the logic behind that. The gm 10 bolt is like the d35 garbage same with the d30 why spend close to 2g on a locker for a weak axle. Would love to see a gm14 or Dana 70 more one ton applications
We are currently working on designs for more of the 1 ton axles. There is a substantial demand for the lockers that we currently make. I'm inclined to agree with your statement, however not everyone is looking for a locker for hardcore off-road use. It does seem like more and more people are understanding the need for the heavier duty axles, and the demand is becoming larger to be sure.
dana 30 and dana 35 ARE trash. had one of each in a jeep grand cherokee. both went bad got noisey had pitted bearings. replaced, were still noisey. common problem
@@OxOffRoad i wish you guys made lockers for toyotas as well
does it come with bearings?
The locker does not come with bearings.
@@OxOffRoad I thought you had a kit available
Why must we not use a gasket to seal the cover of this diff?
It will still work fine if you use a gasket, the reason we do not recommend one is the clearance between the shift fork in the cover and the lock ring on the carrier is optimized without the gasket thickness. Honestly it will work fine either way.
using a fine bead of right stuff gasket maker is better anyways.
How about that 14 bolt version that's been promised for over 10 years?
It would be nice if you could show where to connect the air hose to the locker
He did.
Thanks I got it this time, appreciated!!
You did a wonderful job NOT showing us what you're hammering at around 4:20 (the "non" 3/8th bolt bushings ... otherwise, mostly great video, thank you 😊👍👌
Obviously
It would be better had you more fully occluded the video. Perhaps next time you can invite others to stand in front of the camera with you.
lol
I'm trying to avoid air lockers. They just seem unreliable if your compressor goes out. These seem good until your in the middle of nowhere! Not sure about these.
Our air shift system has a fail safe device that can be used in the event of an air system failure check it out czcams.com/video/tYPjhh30HsI/video.html
Obviously!
Kidding aside - amazing product.
What? I thought Ox locker was manually operated. That's why I was interested.
The Ox locker can be manually operated, as well as electrically or pneumatically, depending entirely on the shifting system it is installed with.
My first thought.....
Christopher Walken!
[Insert cowbell joke here]
Do they make one for the rear axle in my ford focus? 😂😂😂
D
Much rather just put s Detroit in the rear. looks like that shit would get torn of first time in the woods.
@3:24 he said “you can chip the teeth easily as the material is very hard”! If the metal composition is hard, it should not be chipped easily. Remember the pinion is the one that pounding those ring gears through many off-road/on-road scenario
Not a good install seemed half a$$
This is not a instructional install video just an overview of what it takes as the title would indicate. If you need more detailed instructions, we would be glad to help, you can call tech support or download a set of instructions from our website.
If you are going to spend time to do something and record for CZcams make it by the book as possible I feel there is a 16 year old out there that will take it seriously I am not trying to trash you personally it is what it is.
