Yes, they still are available. Who knows how many remain from the first
production run and are sitting in Japan and with distributors/wholesalers.

I find it very odd that if the kit is still in production, that it would be
omitted from their catalogues for several years. It might be over looked for
one year, but not several. Especially in the English/Spanish and
English/French catalogues what would go to the U.S. and Canada where, I
suspect, they'd expect the most sales. As far as I can recall, items or
disappeared from the catalogues when no longer in production or not
available outside of Japan.

As for the G.P.A. and S.A.S. kits, other the 'Jeep' being in the vehicle
name, there is no mention of "With the cooperation of Jeep/Chrysler"
anywhere that you see with officially licensed products. So they might be
able to side step the issue with the older kits.
