Guys, Steevo at Rugged Rocks is trying to build some steam getting a Lock Right locker made for 33-spline H233B axles (96-04 Pathfinder, Xterra and Frontier)
Richmond Gear was bought out by Motive Gear so he has lost some momentum trying to bring this product to market. I would love one for my Frontier and I have been waiting for the chance to buy one. Are any of you guys interested in one? I think they are a great alternative to the ARB air locker. If you want one, speak up, or I can vouch for you over on the RR forum:

If the pricing is right, I could be in for this. He posted up around $350 or so when he first started working on this, but who knows what it will be now.

i dunno, i would expect it to be around jayman's post. but check your axles, you might be one of the lucky frontier owners that has 31 splines, in that case you can use the same one I had in my pathfinder which are readily available.

from clubfrontier.org:
HG43 - Found on Pathfinders, V6 Hardbodies, and a few '99 Frontiers - H233B rear / R200 front, 4.375:1 gearing. On the 2000+ 33 spline axles, the HG43 has a 4.363 ratio, however this is not a common axle code on the later models.
HG46 - found on auto equipped pathfinders, 96-97 hardody 4 bangers, many Xterras and Frontiers. This one has some variation. Pre-2000 versions are the H233B axle with 4.625:1 gearing (31 spline axles). 2000+ is the H233B axle with 4.636:1 gearing (33 spline axles). Typically comes with an R200 front axle, with the exception being in the '96-97 Hardbody pickups - those had an H233B / R180 combination. Axle shafts in the H233B were 31 spline up to about 2000, where they switched to 33 spline shafts. All Xterras and R50 Pathfinders received the 33 spline axles. In Frontiers, it can be a crapshoot if you have a '99-'00 model, though it is believed that the switchover was at or near 2/00 production date.
HG49 - found in mid year 2001+ Frontiers and Xterras. H233B / R200 combo with 4.90:1 gears.

I've been waiting for news on this over at NPORA, but it seems the thread is gone.
I know I'd be in for one.
