i believe he got the ones made by warrior products (the same people that make the shackles) You might be able to buy them if you call Summit or 4 wheel parts
I got mine from 4wp in Vegas. They are the ones made by warrior and they work great. The cotter pin idea works fine, but wasn't clean enough for me. These take me about 5 minutes to take off, and about 10 to put on. Not sure how they did in the Ohio winter though, I'm guessing they'll need some wd40. They ran me about 200 for both the front and rear.
Try a search for them, theres a full writeup with pics. If you have any questions let me know.
I don't remember maybe $20.00 or somewhere in there.
Only thing you need is
2 pins, then I had them turned down to fit the hole
4 washers
2 cotter pins
2 springs
put the pin thru the hole and add your washer, spring, washer and mark for hole for cotter pin. Make sure and put some pressure on the spring when you mark your hole.
Take back off and drill hole for pin. That is it.
I figure it takes a couple min. on each side to disconnect them. Sometimes it takes longer to put them back in if you aren't on a flat surface. You can't get them back in if you are on a bind.
Hope this helps.
I also made my own front disconnects. I used 2 grade 8 bolts and trimmed them down on a lathe to give a nice fit. I then used a washer and a pin to secure it.
