No, I had one. Manual hubs. ARB makes a locker or at least did. Also had a Samauri. Nice little underpowered vehicle. Sam's use a portal style front axle with lip seals that is prone to failure in stock form but easily rebuildable.
Do you mean a closed knuckle axle?
Portals are gear reduction boxes on the end of the axles that increase ground clearance.
If Samuri's came stock with those that would be awesome, not many vehicles do.
OPEN KNUCKLE:
CLOSED KNUCKLE:
PORTAL:
Notice the wheel hub is lower than the axle input, increased ground clearance and extra gear reduction in the portal box between the two.
Anyway, I think the Roxors are way cool, if expensive. But it seems most UTV's are comparably priced.
A modernized CJ2 with a little diesel, whats not to love! Should tow similarly to a CJ2. Put the transfer case in neutral and go. I wish they were street legal everywhere.
