\"\"<\/a>Now that the M226 (D44 Variant) diff found in the Titan, and 2nd Generation Xterras and Frontiers (manual trans and O\/R ver. only) has a locker option from ARB, we are on to new projects and lockers for more Nissan differentials. Next up for the Nissan croud is the C200K rear-end (Xterra and Frontier non-OR w\/ Autotrans) & the Titan Front (M205) and yours truely is staying ontop of whats going on at ARB.<\/p>\n

The latest news from ARB is that they are in the early development stages for both the C200K and the M205 lockers. the C200K locker was a big debate until it was recently realized that the new Suzuki Equator uses the same C200K as the Xterras and Frontiers, which now gives the C200K locker project a higher priority than it originally had. Chances are that we will see the C200K locker before the M205 locker, and with a Very Rough time estimate we’re looking at having one of these lockers available before the end of 2009, and if we’re really lucky, we’ll have both before the close of 2009.<\/p>\n

The only real debatable question that we have now is, wheather or not ARB should make a locker for the R180 (xterra & frontier front differential). There is a major concern about the strength of the R180 housing. No doubt the ARB locker will hold up fine but are\u00c2\u00a0xterra\u00c2\u00a0and frontier owners\u00c2\u00a0willing to accept the high failure rate of other R180 axle components while using a locker and larger tires? In Australia, Both stock and locker equiped R200 differentials found in the earlier trucks have been known to actually split the differential housing right in half, which means even worse news for the R180 being that it’s smaller and weaker. Also, with\u00c2\u00a0the fact that “Titan-Swaps” (putting a Titan front diff into an X or Frontier) are becomming more and more popular, will offering a Titan front locker satisfy the Xterra and Frontier community?<\/p>\n
