Re: Ox lockers still around?
It will be going into a CJs D 30, I know, axles and ujoints not strong
enough, I will be going with either warn or superior of those, so cromally and 297 Ujoints. And don't everyone tell me to save my money and go with a 44, I know the 30 isn't a 44 even with new axle, but I've weighted all my options, if I was going to go with a 44 front I would want it full size, not my narrow track, and if I do that I then have to replace my AMC 20 in the rear, but as I am happy with it, with it's new gears, detroit and one peice axles I can't see getting rid of it, so I will try the D 30 way, stick with my 33"s and go easy on the gas, I figure it should hold up as well as my AMC 20. Also I'm in a town of 20,000, it takes two ferries and 4.5 hours to get to a city, we have one wrecker in town with a total of 50 cars, so finding a suitible D44 would be a long process, or going to the city, ferry cost, hotel cost, refurbishing the 44, swapping gears and then still having to get a locker makes the D 30 option very atractive.

Re: Ox lockers still around?
I'd be the last one to say to replace your D30 with a D44 which isn't
really adding that much strength, if any at all due to them both using the same u-joints. Upgrading its axleshafts with Warn's (as I have) or Superior Axle's with the new 760 u-joints that replaced the 297s will give you an uber-strong front axle. Most have no problems running 35" tires and a locker with that setup, with me being part of that group.

I would recommend you run a fused hub core or I can send you one of your
old ones back. LOL! That would be the weak link so if something did jam up hopefully it wouldn't wreck the diff. The hubs are fast to change at least.....
