They have been available for a while now. I got one and had it installed about a year and a half ago. It works very well with the rear Torsen.

they had been out of stock for a while, just did another production run.

I'm on the fence about the rear, leaning towards another Torsen (or equiv) or a selectable locker.
Its a daily driver, so an LSD or auto-locker is not my preferred choice.

If my FX4 didn't have the Torsen in the rear, I would have installed a selectable locker. I searched long and hard for a selectable locker for the front but there is nothing available unless one was willing to do a lot of work to get it to fit.

Regardless, no regrets with two Torsens. Those front Torsens must be in good demand if they are running out of stock.

The 02 FX4 and all 03+ FX4 L2 had Torsen in the rear and open in the front from the factory.
