I am sure the warranty is voided once installed lol. No way would I risk it to save money on something that could potentially strand you in no man's land.

 

I have bought non-mechanical things that I can modify/repair/repaint myself from a china distributor (such as bumpers). I would not feel comfortable buying drive line components. Not because it's not the same item made in the same factory (my Eaton "Detroit" lockers are made in Taiwan ) but because if I buy it through a reputable US distributor they will stand behind it and provide the level of service I expect.

Example: Recently bought a winch from Quadratec. I could have got (basically) the same winch for a few dollars cheaper from china direct. After using it only once, the motor failed (brushes, commutator or armature ). Because the winch is warranted by Quadratec I called them up and they shipped me out a new motor the same day. No charge for new motor, shipping or return. Within a week my winch is back on and ready to go. I don't think the china direct guys would be that responsive.

 

Come on guys, how can you blast a company that puts out quotes like these?

I'm all for it. Wouldn't put one in my rig, but I think the OP should install two, start a build thread, and update it as problems arise. With plenty of pics. And I think a link to the youtube video noted in his post should be there as well.



Seriously, pass on these and get a quality locker from a company who will stand behind their product.

 

Any possible questions aside... lets not forget the issue of supporting counterfeiter bull****

They're ripping off the companies they are trying to copy, what does that say about how they'll care about your business and customer satisfaction?

Of course back to that quality thing... what are the chances that they are actually engineering these to within the same tolerances and/or quality of materials as the original manufactures? Really want to take that risk with a critical drive line component?

 

They have a replica of the AEV Snorkel too. wtf Jeep Jk Wrangler 4x4 Snorkel - Buy Snorkel,Snorkel,4x4snorkel Product on Alibaba.com

 

this stuffs all been around for ages...i got the snorkel for 120...no complaints...locker though i would not do imo.

 

Yea that Chinese snorkel caused heated debates between American vs. chinese parts for a simple piece of plastic,
lets not bring it to lockers, just move on I hope nobody buys these or if you do tell us when it explodes and how much money it is to do brand new diffs and then do arb lockers

 

these threads always make me smile....guess where 95% of all aftermarket wheels and gears come from....here is a hint....it aint the good old USA

 

true..our "American" jeeps arent so american....metric fasteners and id bet almost every electronic piece is chinese. Hell i wouldnt be surprised if the jeep logo itself they put on jeeps isnt american

 

my 2013 Wrangler unlimited sport has on its window sticker that is made with 72% US/Canadian parts and 15% Mexico. My 2014 JKUR says 73%US/Canadian parts and does not list any other source. So still more American then not at this point.
