Default Manuel locking front hubs

Does anyone make manuel locking front hubs for an XJ. I just think it would help with gas milage without the front end not turning constantly.

You will never see and MPG gains running lock out hubs. EVER. If you do it will be like a quarter of a mile more per gallon. And if they still cost as much as they use to then It'll take you ten lifetimes to brake even. You know what do it then post in 85 years when you still haven't broke even!
