So this really sucks. Now I'm ready to buy and can't find one anywhere. :wallbash:

If anyone has access to them (different brand maybe) I'm sure there will be some greatful people on here. Personally I don't intend to install a front locker. The terrain I prefer doesn't require it. I also run 35s on the highway everyday.

From where may I ask and what is the shipping time?? It's discontinued so... If someone's got it let them know.
Multiple companies let me order it then later on told me it's discontinued and don't know when they will be getting any

I expect you are going to be disappointed. I called a bunch of places (just about everyone that showed up in a Google search) last October and got one of the last 3 on a shelf anywhere and had to pay a premium to get it.

yeah a little disappointed...here's the deal. I ordered it through 4 Wheel Parts a couple of weeks ago. They said they didn't have an ETA. After reading your posts I just called them and they called the company. They told him that "the part is not showing discontinued, but not in stock and we do not have ETA when it will be available." Long story short, I'm taking the advice of others on here that have done some in depth calling around and cancelled my order and got a refund. Yeah, a little bummed but I guess I have some extra money for other things now.

Your buying options are only as good as you can google.

Most show that they are unavailable, maybe try these? They may be trying to sell their last stock.

I called around today and found they haven't produced a locker for our truck since being sold.

Just got off the phone with the manufacturer they said they don't have a eta on the next time or if they will be made again, told him people are looking for them and he said he'd put in a word.

Also asked about having a special run of them made... Group buy would only be $380-ish each, but we would need a minimum order of 27, So that's no gonna happen!
