(moderators: this isn't a for-sale post, and I am not a vendor nor do I have any financial interest in this. However, I am speaking to a vendor about getting these parts made again, for the benefit of the community, so it will probably get more traffic here. If not ok, feel free to move).
So we all know Aussie Lockers stopped making their "lunchbox locker" for the 8" Mitsubishi diff a few years back (apparently for lack of sales), but I've heard a number of people who may be interested in such a thing. Lokka in Australia makes them, but anyone who has dealt with them knows it's a crapshoot - they may neer reply to you, may never send the part, may just return your money with no message, etc.
ANyhow, I talked with the people at Aussie Lockers (based in New York, who replied to my email immediately) and they said if 15+ people "verbally" commit, they'd be willing to restart production on the XD-94514, which is the fit for all V6 Monteros (according to their old listing) The price would be somewhere around $320. They did not want to do any kind of pre-pay - but basically just a list of who would be seriously interested in buying once made.
So, to try to make this happen I'm going to play middle-man here if there's enough interest. So here's what I need if you are seriously interested:
Send me a private message with your name and email address, and also post "yes" in this thread. That's it. I'll leave this thread open until we get enough people then I'll send them on to Aussie Lockers and hopefully they'll do the production run.
Here are screen captures of the old listing, with information:
