I love my truck and the four wheel drive works great. but the open differential has to go. Does anyone know where to get ethier a lsd or a locker for a 2005 and up model frontier.

Swap in the D44 variant axle from a Nismo truck. That one has an electronic locker in it.

The downside is that the C200 you have is probably a more durable axle, however, it hasn't been confirmed if the 31 spline ARB locker for 2003-2004 trucks will fit in a 2005+ C200.

Yes, I do. It's a direct bolt in. You'll need to run the wiring and switch for the E Locker.
