Hey everyone,
I did a search and couldn't find squat on the subject.
Anyone got a write up on how they installed their OX Locker Cable? Where did you mount it?
Thanks for your time,
Mark

The cable exits on the driver's side and runs between the inner C and coil bucket.

It's a good idea to sheathe the cable in 3/8" fuel hose for extra chafe protection. Where the cable runs up near the exhaust header I added some header wrap to it and used cable ties to keep it from hitting it.
On my '93 there was a hole in the firewall already so I ran the cable through that. It put the cable inline with the center console so that's where I mounted the levers. This doesn't really help because you have a newer body style but here's where I mounted my levers...

THANKS JES :)
Great idea on the header wrap and fuel hose sheathe. I will do some digging around the engine compartment / firewall to see where the best spot would be to install this. I like where you mounted the levers. Too bad my center console is different. I'll let ya know wehre I end up mounting it.
Thanks again - Mark

I just did my rear in a 00'. I know you have a front. Take your center console off, and you will see there is hardly any room in there. I know of one person that made a plate and sacrificed their rear cup holder and put it there. I thought I was going to put it on the console, but not many choices. Decided to put it next to it. It is not in my way at all. Driverside, inbetween TC lever and e-brake lever.

It's an old writeup, but it may be of some use. http://www.4x4wire.com/jeep/tech/axle/oxlocker02/
