    So, I have had an appointment delayed several times for the past 2 months due to my local shop not being able to get his preferred gears (Yukon Gears). He told me today that due to covid they wont be available until July. I asked about Nitro gears and he said NO ONE has them either. Websites will say in stock but they all get their stock from the same drop warehouses and they are all empty. Is this happening to anyone else?

    I have been waiting since March for Nitro. Unfortunately the demand and supply is very skewed and no real righting in sight.

    That’s frustrating. Bought mine in March and am set to leave Hawaii soon haha. Originally thought my dealer was BSing me after 6 phone calls but surprise surprise. Hopefully I can get them installed with my front locker in time to leave. Nothing beats global panic!

    ECGS likely has some in stock. They did in August when I was there. Many smaller resellers are still out of stock.

    sorry, I should have included that but I’m going through Maui Off-road. They have a great review and constantly busy so I figured they were popular for a reason. You on the islands?
