Amazon at 3 am has probably been responsible for some of my profligacy… but I digress. Lockers are a good thing.. Air lockers are a really good thing! Looking forward to following your build.
Isn't this what you need?I'm 31 and I've been wheeling since I was 15 more or less, built one ifs truck (89 Isuzu amigo) and in my experience, which is far from I'm a trail gobble but I'm not a new guy putting skinny tires on daddys wrangler, the only real way to make it "capable" for what I want to do is at least one locker, usually I just do a lunch box locker in the rear and call it good, but in the case of the nissan, this isn't available (which I find really odd) so air lockers it is. Kind of a must have imo. Lockers before a bunch of stupid rigid lights, or do what I do because it made sense when you were drinking and looking at amazon at 3 am
Well that's not one I've seen before. I'm not entirely sure I'd want a non-selectable locker in the rear, since mine is more of an overland build that a straight up wheeler, but that's definitely something to consider.Isn't this what you need?

I know there are lots of folks who run a lokka in the front, and don't have an issue. Besides, the locker Terry posted is for the rear anyways.I also know from experience that non selectables and cv shafts don't mix :/ but thank you
Daddy won't ban you, daddy will show you the other roomand its my friday (I'm only off 2 days, every other weekend) time to go finish the rear bumper
and yes, I'm becoming a post whore, ban me daddy
I've been forced to watch 50 shades of grey, you won't get me that easily.Daddy won't ban you, daddy will show you the other room
TGPWS 8: Hope it can only get better.
UFCK that year. Let's do this one properly.www.xterranation.org
I'm confused now though, everywhere you go I"ve been told we can only do a lokka front, or arb'sI know there are lots of folks who run a lokka in the front, and don't have an issue. Besides, the locker Terry posted is for the rear anyways.
But air lockers are still the best choice.
Old Aussie lockers and Lokka brand are affiliated. From what I've found they used to be made in the same factory.I'm well aware, amigo had an aussie, bronco has an aussie, one in the bronco is actually a tad tight on its tolerance and acts more like a spool sometimes lol
I'm a fan of the mechanical locker :/ just wish the boys at aussie were interested in building them for us
What reason?and a quick search found that the nitro lunch box locker does not work in our trokas.
back to saving for air lockers
the spline count, not sure how they came up with 31 or 33 spline but a direct email to the company with a response of it only fits 31 spline axles solves this mysteryWhat reason?
I wonder what the reasoning behind changing the spline count was, other than "because" was. It would have been more beneficial to us if they hadn't changed it. We'd have way more options available.the spline count, not sure how they came up with 31 or 33 spline but a direct email to the company with a response of it only fits 31 spline axles solves this mystery
This I can relate to, when the xterra came out I thought it was a cool ass little truck, and it still is, but new nissan? come on really?33 > 31
Back when Nissan cared about making shiat better.

Why not go manual hubs, and just toss a lokka in the front? Mine still has open diffs (I've not gotten around to having my lokka put in yet), and I've not really had any issues getting to my destinations. I've only used the locker in my frontier once.anyways, didn't get what I wanted done this weekend, I wanted to have the bumper painted, on the vehicle and all lights and trailer wiring hooked up and done.
well, we forgot to weld tabs for the license plate so did that this morning and shot everything, was gonna do black, but opted for a metallic dark grey.
Did that, its curing/drying, will put on next trip, need to buy 5th matching wheel since spare is visible now and it won't look right if it doesn't match, pulled front bumper, I'm guessing the front end/suspension needs some love

also reconsidering locking both front and rear, it'd save money, and with the rear locked it will probably go everywhere I want to go, if not, I'll add a front later, but it'd free up funds for other things, like a home, my bronco, my high boy
I do have the warn hubs already, maybe less of an issue with the x, I don't know, but everytime Ive seen a lunch box locker in the front, particularly on an ifs truck, axle parts get broken. Probably gonna just arb the rear for now and if I have excessive money laying around I'll get the front done tooWhy not go manual hubs, and just toss a lokka in the front?

That would be much cheaper than dual arbs, and you'd at least have one end locked at that point.
It's my understanding that the front end of the first gens is WAY over built for how much power they put out. I've not heard of many people snapping cvs after putting a locker in the front diff. I'm not sayings it's impossible, just that I've not heard it's a common issue.I do have the warn hubs already, maybe less of an issue with the x, I don't know, but everytime Ive seen a lunch box locker in the front, particularly on an ifs truck, axle parts get broken.

It probably does!well I mean, I think my riding lawn mower has a better 0-60
I drove a taco once. It was lifted already, and I was thinking about buying it. I decided not to. This was prior to buying the X. It definitely felt slow. It was also lifted on 33s. I decided not to buy it, but for other reasons. The frontier is SO MUCH FASTER, it feels like.honestly its not that bad. I've driven slow vehicles (amigo, bronco with its stock 302 and 3.55's (it was the 80's) almost any toyota out there, I recently rode in a trd pro tacoma, and honestly think the x could take it. But the cream of the cake, is a 3126 powered tow truck named piggy, once took me 6 hours to cover 180 miles in it
the additional rigid lights, its a to be continuedHow's the wiring coming?
And what are you wiring?
Very nice! Can't wait to see them on the X.sliders came in
