when i sheared the pins on the one that i used to have (adam has it now) I dealt with Bill (the owner) and he was a VERY stand up guy.

He explained to me over the phone some of the differences in design and materials that make the aussie a quieter, and more reliable locker than the other lunch box lockers. better design, imho, compared to the other lunch box lockers. Bill used to work for powertrax (i believe), but left to start aussie locker. He's a good guy, and is pretty well known in the toyota crowd here on the east coast.

The YJ are on backorder. The person I contacted said they are getting a shippment in but they have to fulfill backordered items first and that I should check at the end of Feb to see if there are any not on backorder. So if you put an order in about a month ago, you should be getting yours soon.

If not then you may be waiting till the next shippment.
