I can not believe, but it looks like nobody is interested to buy a front locker for the 2nd generation Explorer. If so, we certainly do not build this locker.

Wolfgang, interest is not the problem, broken promises to all of us that own 95+ Explorers and subsequent distrust is the problem. This has been true for several modifications especially lockers and suspension kits.
You yourself made the following post on this website on 7-10-2002, nearly a year ago:
7-10-2002:
"The lockers are already made and availible for all years of the Explorer !"
"The price is 849$ including shipping to the US, if you order 10 at a time !"
"Yes we have a locker for the 95 -02 Explorer !"
You told us you had them available for sale a year ago. Then when some of us emailed you and couldn't get a straight answer and were reluctant to send that much money to an overseas company, you finally posted five months later on 12-17-2002:
"We will make your locker in 2003. Check our homepage and send a mail if you are willing to buy. We try to make them as soon as possible"
Which got you more interest and subsequent emails wherein you promised to have one out by May of this year. That got my attention and I personally emailed you early this year and I told you that I would buy the first U.S. one and test it on three different famous U.S. fourwheeling areas across the country this summer with a full writeup on its performance, letting you know that would surely result in many sales off of this one website alone.
Once I actually made a firm commitment to that locker you promised by May, I never heard from you again. As a result I had to purchase a NoSlip and make the modifications to my 4auto system that I did not want to have to do, but I had to, because you did not do what you said you would. I gave your money to another company that DID produce a locker, though I wanted yours much more so because it is selectable. So you have already lost one sale.
By saying nearly a year ago that you already had them available, then backing off and promising them by May of the next year, then changing your story again now that May has come and gone and asking for interest now and saying that you may "certainly not build this locker" depending on what replies we make to this thread, you are giving the impression that you are being less than truthful with your product. That makes it very difficult for you to get a response and people are going to be reluctant to respond until they actually find out what is really going on.
There is a market for a selectable locker in a 95+ Explorer. The owners are not the problem; finding a manufacturer that will really make one is.
