33 Spline H233B Lock Right – Update

My contact at Richmond gear was out for about 2 months and when he returned I called to get an update on this project. It turns out that this locker was confused with the 05+ Nissan Xterra/Frontier lockers! The good news is that the 05+ trucks have a locker around the corner however the 33-spline lock right isn’t designed yet. We talked about the similarities between the 31-spline H233B and the 33-spline and then i was told that as soon as i get a carrier to them, they will start working on this project.

Being that the 33-spline LSD carriers are more common than the 33-spline open carriers, we also talked about building the lock right for the LSD carrier rather than the open one. I’ll be sending them one of each carrier so they can make the call on what they want to make. The upside to this mix-up is that we may end up getting a lock right that wilk fit the more common, LSD differential reducing the chance of you having to hunt down a proper carrier for the locker.

I’ll be keeping you posted as this project develops.

Nissan 33-spline Lock-Right Locker – Xterra, Frontier, Pathfinder ’98 – ’04

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, Continue reading “Nissan 33-spline Lock-Right Locker – Xterra, Frontier, Pathfinder ’98 – ’04”
