Re: Ox locker thoughts
I know what you mean about the diff cover, I was expecting thick
alluminum, not 3/8" or better machined, not cast, steel. Mine is fairly
covered in mud already, going out tomorrow up into the mountains, I here the
snow level is dropping to 1000 ft tonight, so may be trying it in the snow
tomorrow. I know my detroit in the back didn't like the snow last time I was
out, but that was 2 feet of it, frozen for the most part, it didn't know
weather to lock or unlock.
