Mike - did your mate ever get around to importing the Chinese lockers? How did that turn out?

So Mike was his hardening process for the lr lockers a success and is he thinking to do them for real 4x4's?

I don't think he had them done.

Il speak to him see if he's had issues.

I've sold him some winch upgrades and forgot to ask.

Like Scottie said the Australians seem to like them.
