OBA can also fill up my tires or many other uses.
What else does the cable do?
I don't have to adjust an ARB.
Period.
I don't think the 3 minutes it takes to adjust the cable upon install is really much of a consideration, considering the technical expertise and time it takes to install a selectable locker.
Like I said, I think the hype about the difficulty with the cable is just that, it's over-hyped. For anyone who has the skill to install OBA, run air lines, wire the the switch required to activate the air locker, and install the locker itself...
the cable adjustment on the OX would be a very simple part of the installation.
I don't see how it's an issue or a consideration at all when choosing between lockers. If you already have, or want or need OBA, that would be a consideration (I don't want or need it). But 3 minutes of adjustments in the overall installation job is not much to consider (IMO).
On the other hand, if I could have activated the ARB when I was deep in boulders on Old Sluice, where my OX would not activate, I definitely see an advantage there. But, being the newb I am to selectable lockers (this OX is my first), it may have been user error on my part.
I'm not trying to sell the OX over the ARB... I don't own stock in the company. Just giving my opinion that the issues with the OX cable are over hyped.
