I don't know about cheap, but I bought mine at Central 4wd. At the time they sold both a Warn and a knock off version. I ended up with the warn because the knock off didn't fit in my receiver because it's homemade.

I think Keane's suggestion is a good local one. I bought mine from 4WD Hardware through our club purchase plan.

I bought one of those hitch/shackle things from central 4wd a few months ago. It fit into my front and rear bumpers as far as the sliding in goes, but the holes for the pin wouldn't line up. I thought what is the chance the holes on both the F and R bumpers from marlin are wrong. It must the hitch. I then tried the hitch in my Expedition and Dodge pick up recievers and it fit perfectly. I had to enlarge the pin holes on the marlin bumpers to make it work. I have some great luck with marlin quality.
Then there is the marlin built 3rd member ARB issue that popped up on this past weekends snow run. I will save that story for another thread. I will just say that ARB over the past few days have gone above and beyond while Marlin's customer serveice was non existent.

I would have bought an ARB, but they don't make one for the 4runner that will fit the Warn powerplant. When the funds are there someday I will look into getting some custom ones built.
