Is PORC still in business?? (Contacted)

I just tried calling them(Performance Offroad Center) to order a Detroit EZ for my 4Runner and the toll free # isn't working and no one is answering the phone # listed on the site.

BTW, they have the best price that I've found for "lunchbox" locker for 3rd gen V6 so far.

$179.99 for the Detroit EZ locker, and $20.20 for shipping.

Central 4WD is my next choice. They don't carry the Detroit EZ, but they do carry the Lock Rights @ $202.80, shipping included. Since they're in CA and I'm in CA, I'll have to pay for tax of $15.72. So, $218.52 is still a great price, but I'd thought I'd put the $$ I saved towards real axle oil seals or something.

Edit:

I just spoke to them, and apparently, they were having phone problems. I ordered a Lock Right from Alex, who is the owner. He was very friendly and helpful. He said that they don't push the Detroit EZ locker anymore because they've had problem with them. Mostly of the almost non-existent Tractech customer service. He said that if any Detroit products fails, it's a PITA to get answers from Tractech.

Anyway, they would've had to have the EZ locker drop shipped from the company. Who knows how long that will take?!! So, he steered me to the Lock Right which I didn't see listed on their website. I got the Lock Right 1620 for $196.99 + $12.00 shipping. Great deal!!

I was going to say...Yes. Alex is great with customer service and their prices are the best, bottom line.

I sent Alex a PM on Pirate asking for an alternate way of getting to them. He hasn't returned my PM yet (he goes by "porc" over there)
