I have access to a used Ox Locker out of a Dana 35 Jeep rear end.Would a locker like this work in my 35 TTB front?If it does work and I could get it for about $500 dollars would it be worth the difference over a Aussie?I'm thinking there's more to go wrong but it would be nice to manually lock it in.How much money and time is it worth to have that switch?

Ox won't work. The shift fork is built into the diff cover....which the D35 TTB doesn't have.

I liked my aussie in the front of mine when I had it.

Thanks Sasquach didn't know how those worked I'll set up my gears in the open diff then throw it in a corner till I feel good about buying an Aussie and get it in there later.I have a hybrid with a Lockright in there now wouldn't change it without a locker.

If you're up for modifying both it's cover as well as the front of your axle beam, the Ox can be made to work (nothing beats having a selectable locker in the front axle). It would be a lot more work than simply sticking an ARB locker in there though.
