Unless you're a large person, have a low powered engine, and have steep hills you don't need gears. I'm 250 lbs, have a 1.6 hp 4 stroke engine, and live in the mountains so yes I need gears lol

I have a spare dolomite fat bike frame downstairs; who knows if I'll end up hot rodding the downpipe into a nice S curve, and get a shifter fattie out of it; my first bike's Gx-35 fits inside of it, perhaps it'd be sweet to have a Gx-50

There's been a few who did Dolomite shifter builds. They had issues making things fit and work properly. To avoid those same issues you'd probably have to seriously consider stretching the frame by welding in extension.

On a few occasions I've ordered stuff directly from White Industries.

Two Green Trails freewheels in my Staton Inc triple chainring shift kit, WI no longer makes them. They were the 72/5°. I've never had a failure.

Well after 11 years of service I've decided to retire the auto shift LandRider. I did mods to the derailleur and it was working really good. However the hanger broke on the frame. It's a steel frame so I could repair it with a little welding. Still LandRider went out of business 5 years ago. So...
