About 3 years ago the Nissan 4×4 community started pushing for the Titan Front M205 Air Locker to be developed and we started making some headway. ARB North America sent an M205 front differential down to ARB Australia for the engineers to take a look at it and possibly start development. At the time ARB was also in the middle of redesigning the rest of their product line-up therefore the Titan Front Locker (M205) was pushed down the priority list and it seems that many people have lost hope in this project. But, I have some good news. Lately my phone has been ringing from people that want updates on this locker and more importantly information on if it’s ever going to exist.
We haven’t had any real updates on where ARB stands on the development of this locker for at least a couple years, so I decided to do a little digging. A call to the ARB Australia tech department revealed that ARB needs to be able to justify making a batch of at least 50 of these lockers.. which isn’t nearly as many as I thought they’d need. I know more than 50 people have done “Titan swaps” on their Xterras and Frontiers who want lockers, let alone the guys who actually own Titans who would like to Lock up these front differentials. At this point it’s just a matter of getting these guys to speak up and chime in by responding to this blog with a comment stating that they are interested along with a time frame that you would be looking at to seriously consider purchasing the locker as if it was available right now. (within 6 months, within one year, I have no idea but I like it!) Even if I’ve gotten calls, e-mails or had person to person conversations with you regarding this locker and I know you are interested, please comment here. If you are seriously interested in this locker, please comment below and please be honest and please spread the word on this blog.
