Also because they suck.

I'd rather have an electric locker than air for ease, but unless an Eaton came my way ridiculously cheap...nope.

After hearing enough people with problems with them, they're lack of serviceability and customer service, and machining tolerances (thanks to Chris Vetteboy)...I'll pass on them...especially in a 1 ton application.

If I were to go to a selectable in the buggy, it would also be competition style (e.g. always locked unless unlocked, instead of the opposite).

Ditto. Whenever I get around to wheeling again. Lol

i thought that was a good idea too, but they are a lot more $$. between the Yukon ZIP and ARB, standard vs comp, and the 9"/d60 combo ... the pair of standard ZIPs was enough cheaper i didn't even second guess it.

Yeah more expensive, but on some of the trails we run...well worth it. Not having am axle locked could cause far more damage in the long run.

Well...I didn't go wheeling...I'm out in Montrose doing it now

Ran Capamity and Die Trying yesterday, I'd imagine Death Row and Cactus 1 or 2 today.

Doubt well do Boulder Canyon...but maybe hit up 21 Road on the way home
