I'm looking for a selectable locker for my front d44. I'm currently running 4.88 and 33s (for now), and 9" in the rear with a detroit. Driving around town is not an issue since I only drive my jeep off road, but I don't want to be locked up in the front all the time. Anybody have any info on which ones are good and which ones are junk?

my vote is for the ox. No need for a compressor
also you get a heavy and i mean extremely heavy duty diff cover as well

X2, no compressor and beefy cover with cable shifter. With manual hubs a detroit or other full locker/non selectable isn't a big deal especially with hydro assist.

Another vote for anything other than an ARB. I’ve seen a few of them fail on the trail. I’m not sure how cold it gets in Utah, but up here (AK) winter is death on those stupid plastic lines.
