Marks 4wd is willing to make a tx10 verison of there tx12 (patrol tcase).

“Thank you for your email & interest in our products. The dual transfer case kit we do for the Patrol’s will not suit the TX10 transfer case. Although they look similar they are different internally. We could look at doing a kit to suit your transfers but we would need a minimum order or 10 plus 50% deposit up front

We are looking at keeping the cost the same as the Nissan Patrol dual adaptor. Kit would have same components, adaptor, shaft, & bearing. You would need to do a shifter set up for your rigs . AUD $ = $927.27 US depending on exchange rate approx US$725 based on .78cents. Shipping not included in price
Keep in touch & let us know how you go. Time frame would be approx 6-10 weeks as we have to have patterns made for the adaptor etc ”

Over the last few days i’ve gotten a few e-mails regarding a couple products that have been in the works, so i figured i’d blast out a blog really quick to update everyone.

Nissan Pathfidner, Xterra, Frontier 33-spline H233B Lock Right Locker

The big thing that we’ve seen a ton of feedback on is the 33-spline H233B lockright locker. due to the fact that multiple people started calling Richmond, Richmond has now bumped up the project to next in line and we should be seeing prototypes done in the next 4 – 5 weeks. Then we’ll be testing them in a small hand full of trucks before the final production run is made. we’re looking at having these lockers be a reality and on the shelf in about 3 months time. for the original blog post on this, visit:Nissan Pathfidner, Xterra, Frontier Lock Right Locker

Nissan Xterra, Pathfinder, Frontier Hardbody H233B 5.38 Gears

After months of waiting I finally got minimum order requirements for making these gears and they ended up being higher priced than expected putting them at about a $400 price range. However, I did spend some extensive time on the phone with Nissan Motorsports and we ended up finding 2 more gear sets in the system that were used in OEM application overseas that are most likely deeper than the 5.14 ratio that we already have available. We won’t know the ratio untill they come in from japan and we count the teeth. We should have a sample of each gear set in about 4 – 5 weeks so keep your fingers crossed. Although it isn’t the cheaper gearing option that we were hoping, it is hopfully a deeper gearing option that the Nissan 4×4 community could really use. Also along the lines of gearing, I got in contact with a company today that has connections in Australia that may have more cost effective gearing options than OEM Nissan gears as well as a possible source for H260 axle parts.. this is the big 3rd member type axle that is put under some Nissan Patrols Overseas. having a source for H260 3rd members could be a door opening in the direction of a H260 fabricated housings which would be a beefy option for hardcore wheelers that want to keep it Nissan.

I followed up with Richmond this afternoon and they are moving forward with the 33-spline H233B Lock-Right project and it was just sent over to the marketing department to get prioritized. The more feedback they hear from the community the higher the priority they will make this project. The higher the priority, the sooner we will see the this locker available from Rugged Rocks Off Road.

Lock-Right has offered a locker for Nissans for years, however it only fits the rear (H233B) axles of the 86.5 – 95 Pathfinders and ’86.5 – ’97 Hardbody Pickups. In 1998 Nissan upgraded the axle shafts in these trucks and went from a 31-spline axle shaft to a larger 33-spline axle shaft while keeping the rest of the H233B differential unchanged.

I recently contacted Richmond Gear, the maker of Lock-Right, (more…)

After working with Superior on the 05+ Nissan gears, I figured it was about time to offer the Nissan Motorsports 4.875 and 5.143 Gears for both the rear H233B Nissan differential and R200A Front differential. This covers Nissan Pathfinder, Hardbody, Frontier and Xterra V6 trucks from 1990 – 2004.

The Gears can be found on the Rugged Rocks website here: NISMO Gears
