Spool's? Nick
Explain how would a spool have kept her right wheel going up the side? And how you know the locker wasn't locked?
So, Jen was turning? Looked straight to me....
Bill, Jen had an Ox locker on that trip, here's a pic from 2 days after the roll...
She was probably so confused by your tangents she didn't want to go down that road.
OK, so we've established that she didn't have a front Detroit locker, but rather it was an OX. And you've established *she* never told you her Detroit released causing her to go over; you merely *assumed* she had detroit. Since an OX locker is essentially a spool when locked, and it was locked according to the video, what's your theory now why she rolled? Did she buy gas in Mexico? Did she have over 15,000 miles on her spark plugs?

(a) Ox isn't vacuum lock, it's mechanically actuated via cable. (b) Let me clarify, are you talking about the rear axle, or front? Because the orginal post in the thread was regarding front axles, not rear, and you told him to "use a spool."
The topic was regarding front lockers, you brought up a rear spool and the symptoms of a detroit in the rear. Irrelevent to the OP, hence the confusion.
Mr. Irrelevent strikes again.
That ONLY happens on hard srufaces, it never happens on soft srufaces. And when ascending a hill, the weight of the vehicle will be onthe rear wheels, so this would have a minimal affect, if any, on the view from the top.
I do use a Detroit, but we are talking about a spool on the front axle and (you threw in) hill climbs.
A locked axle never free wheels.
