Titan Swap. What Is It and What Is It's Biggest Benefit? 

The Titan cv's axles are stronger than frontier?

@@vagelisperrakis826 yes

I agree. The piece of mind is huge for me.

Thanks. I watched your about 10 times and stole some ideas before I made mine. Full disclosure ya know?

And Solid axle swaps are very difficult in these vehicles. There's no cheap way to do it with the way the frame is designed. You can't slap leaf springs on like you could on the older generation Xs

Thanks for watching. Honestly, I was in Fairbanks Alaska when I did mine so I ended up just buying a brand new one from the dealership. But I would start scouring the junkyards first. The M205 was put in so many vehicles, it shouldn't be hard to find. Just make sure you get the right gears unless you plan to upgrade those like I did.

Not saying it can't be done. After all I've broken three or four titan axles too. They're just so much easier to change than R180 axles. I hope you never have to change one trailside but if you do, you'll be thinking about me now! 😁

Looks like you in Oregon? How far are you from the Tacoma Washington area

@@Flying_Dollar_Motorsports about 2.5 hours.

Sweet. I may be moving up to that area next summer. Depending on what the Army decides.

@@Flying_Dollar_Motorsports keep me updated!!!

Depends on him much lift. You'd need to measure your rear shocks length or look at the specs if you have that info. You'd likely need to replace the front because of lift and the removal of the front sway bar. You need stiffer springs up front to make up for the lack of away bar. If you really wanted to keep your front springs, you'd have to look into a spacer lift for the front and you may need a Titan UCA too. You'd have to research that because I'm not sure if the upper coil buckets on the X and Titan are the same

If you don't swap the engine sure

Hard to say. Haven't looked at prices of M205s recently and you'd be wasting your money buying used lower control arms. They're not that expensive to buy from someone like Rockauto. Furthermore, regions can greatly affect the cost of a junkyard M205. For example, Alaska which has fewer junkyards would charge a premium and the same may go for Florida which receives higher volumes of 2WD trucks than somewhere with harsher weather like Colorado. Also, if you don't have a Pro4x or Off Road trim Xterra with an automatic transmission, you will probably have to regear your Xterra since the majority (possibly all) M205s have 3.36 or 2.94 gears and not all Xterra did

I don't know if anyone specifically but from what I understand, the case is just stronger. Probably won't make much difference if your not mashing the throttle every chance you get. And as long as you don't live in arctic temperatures. But I can't say for certain. I went with the 3 rib design

Im guessing your talking a VK56 swap which is often mistakenly called a Titan swap. I have not done that but it's gonna depend alot on what type of engine you get (salvage, rebuilt, new) and how much work you can do yourself. If you Google Off Road Gorilla, they have done it and can give you a lot of info as well as build you a wiring harness that you'll need.

Here's a how to. www.thenewx.org/threads/how-to-swap-2ndgen-vk56-pbr.107289/ These guys are experts too www.offroadgorilla.com/shop/vk56-engine-swap-custom-harness-for-05-12-xterra-frontier-pathfinder

Another good guide www.alldogsoffroad.com/alldogs-offroad-titan-swap-guide

It's the original engine

If your talking the Nissan Pathfinder of the same generation as my truck, yes you can do ot

I believe it's 2008 and newer.

@@Flying_Dollar_Motorsports I have one navara D40 v6 diesel on 35's and i want to do titan swap. Thanks for the answers. You make very beautiful videos, I follow you.

@@vagelisperrakis826 Yeah I've been watching your stuff this morning. I WISH we had diesel Frontiers in the US. I'd have one for sure!

@@Flying_Dollar_Motorsports it's amazing. It has very much torque..

You can but you will have clearance issues at the top of the coilover.

@@Flying_Dollar_Motorsports actually there is 2" spacer on the coil spring coz my pathy modified with 2" lift kit but my issue right now the stock UCA when drive over into those bump it hits to coil spring frame or whatever called is.

Well you can only use the Titan or Armada UCA if you do the Titan swap. You can't use the UCA without the corresponding LCA. And your 2" spacer will not for coilovers used in a Titan swap. It will only work with factory coils

@@Flying_Dollar_Motorsports ok go it, thank you for your information.

A couple people have told me this. But I can't reproduce the problem. It works on my computer and I tried it at work and on a friends computer and it seems to work ok. I don't know how to fix it.

@@Flying_Dollar_Motorsports thats unfortunate, might be something with the upload and how youtube did it

Seems ok on my stuff but I'm not watching it with stand alone speakers. Just using the laptop. I wouldn't know how to fix it at this point?

@@Flying_Dollar_Motorsports If you have any speakers laying around you can test audio that way to check, idk what editing software you use but I assume there should be an audio setting to configure for surround sound

Ya it is. I have right speaker issues and so I don't get any sound except in the intro and a few off sounds.

Sound was good on my playback

Welp it would appear that I’m the jerk here. Sorry about that and carry on. Guess I’m watch a T-swap video, oh no.

Very Nice. Love the color. What part of Colorado?

@@Flying_Dollar_Motorsports commerce city Colorado where you from

@@yortchylanissancita3583 Currently in the Springs

@@Flying_Dollar_Motorsports cool any good trail worth mentioning???

@@yortchylanissancita3583 There's a ton of trails. Lots on the west side of Denver. Look up Trailsoffroad.com. Great trail guides

My bad for sure. Looks like a kid grabbed an ear bud and I’m the turd here.

@@wrwarrior lol no problem. You had me sweatin' though. Thanks for watching.

Qx80 axles work direct swap and gives the extended axle

@@carlossalazar2164 yeah I forgot about that.

I put a correction in the description of the video. Thanks for the check.
