Starting my TITAN SWAP build on my 2022 NISSAN FRONTIER

[@ryanchan6590]

Nice! Dont forget extended brake lines and longer bump stops and spacers for the rear tires to match the poke in the front after the tswap.

[@Cody071984]

You kept the stuff that was cut off when you installed the RC lift?

[@4wdAdventurz]

Yup.

[@tolsonsoffroad9607]

I just rebuilt the rear end in my titan and I say you can regear it. it’s not as hard as you think if you get the right tools you could do it in a weekend. I seen on another video you was talking the flex isn’t different with the lift I have ran no sway bar for 2 years with no problem and I also offroad almost every weekend here in Kentucky. Even if you don’t want to take it off I know people how just remove the end links when they get to the trail and put the back on after.

[@4wdAdventurz]

I don’t know if I have enough confidence to tackle a re gear. 😂 When i installed the Titan Swap, I removed the swaybar. Didn’t see a point in having it anymore.

[@user-wh3go8ge9b]

How has your transmission been holding up ? Still shifting like normal? Thnx

[@4wdAdventurz]

I’ve actually had zero issues with the transmission.

[@thedude828-ed2nn]

What CV axles did you get the aftermarket, nva or the OEM? I know the OEM are super expensive.

[@4wdAdventurz]

These particular ones are aftermarket. When I switch to the M205 I will be buying OEM. I’m even considering RCV CVs. They are a bit pricey…

[@tolsonsoffroad9607]

Rock auto is way cheaper than auto part stores. I dont think you can get the 2022 frontier cv on there but for the m205 the cheapest is 50$ and the most expensive is 90$

[@RG-dy5jd]

What's up Aaron! So why this swap? The RC lift not working out for off-roading? If you could you do it again, would you skip Rough Country and go straight to Titan swap?

[@4wdAdventurz]

Well, the reason why I am swapping is because my goals with the truck has changed since installing the rough country kit. I think it’s still comes down to what your needs are. If I had no plans to leave, Florida in off-road, the rough country kid would be more than enough. Since Florida is flat and doesn’t require hardly any articulation, the Titan Swap is a worse option because it is less of a lift and you pay for a lot articulation that you’re not gonna use. In Florida, you simply need to get higher off the ground , which the rough country kit does a great job of.

[@RG-dy5jd]

@@4wdAdventurz appreciate all this from you. Thank you - this changes a lot for me; learning a lot from you

[@scott8238]

I did the titan swap on my 14 xterra and the one thing I didn't like was the loss of my sway bars for highway driving otherwise it's amazing on the trail.

[@4wdAdventurz]

What shocks did you go with?

[@LuisReyes-ul3ud]

Sorry a didn’t understand. I have the Nissan Frontier pro 4X 2024. Can I do the Titan Swap without change the Original axles?

[@4wdAdventurz]

Without changing the rear axle, yes. Front CV axles, no. The CV's need to be longer in order to fit the wider track.

[@LuisReyes-ul3ud]

@ Thanks for answering me 🙌, by buying only the Titan CVs, do they fit on the Frontier along with the control arms or do I have to change bearings or something additional? I appreciate all the information you upload on this channel, there is not much well-explained information.

[@4wdAdventurz]

@@LuisReyes-ul3ud No, no thing additonal needs to be changed. Youll need titan upper, titan lowers, titan swapped CV's (not the same as titan cv's so make sure you have the right ones) , titan tie rods, some extended breaklines, and your choice of coilovers.

[@LuisReyes-ul3ud]

@ Thanks again. I have one last question. Do you have any examples of how I can buy Titan Swapped CVs so I can find them on Amazon or elsewhere? I saw something about the CV Axle M205 in another one of your videos. When I search for it on Google, I get a lot of Titan options. Are there any specific brands?

[@4wdAdventurz]

@ a M205 is the diff out of a Nissan Titan, so you don't want those because unless you're swapping diffs, they won't fit. Head over to z1offroad.com and they have everything you would need. Or you can call them and they can tell you what you need.

[@brochilldude]

Make sure to keep extra titan swap r180 CVs around. I highly doubt they will break less than the current, shorter ones on 35s. Nice to see the m205 is still on the docket.

[@4wdAdventurz]

Definitely. I plan to keep two spares in the truck at all times. Just in case.

[@monocogenit1]

Nice man! I bet the new setup will be much better. I'd say ditch the stupid mall crawler 35" tire / wheel combo. Try 33" or so... Maybe 16" wheel. More side wall for the tire.

[@rockie307]

How's a 35" tire a mall crawler tire?

[@monocogenit1]

@@rockie307 not a 35" tire in general. just that one looks like something you'd see on a stupid jeep or something. the frontier is not a huge/overly powerful vehicle. Adding massive wheel tire combo more than likely adversely affects performance, not helps it. prob part of the reason he kept breaking CVs. a 33" tire is about as big as I'd go on a frontier. any much bigger than that and you add lots of weight/stress to driveline/suspension components. I bet his wheel/tire setup weighs at least 75lbs per wheel/tires. maybe more. these trucks were not designed for that type of weight to be hanging off the axles.

[@rockie307]

@monocogenit1 Can't argue with that perspective.

[@fraxonthefurry21]

Not many videos on diy/home brew titan swaps. Looking forward to seeing the work and maybe gain some inspiration

[@4wdAdventurz]

Thanks buddy! Couple more weeks and phase 1 will be complete.

[@TheSouthPaw]

I'm curious about the tire clearance, I'm hearing guys saying just the Titan swap alone with stock tires caused massive rubbing issues and had to cut allot of metal. I know you have already trimmed, probably more than anyone I have seen yet. I have a 5-1/4 lift and had to trim allot to clear 33's with +18 offset. It's kinda the only reason I haven't T swapped, I don't want to go through the hassle of trimming more, I get 8 months of snow where I'm at and need to protect the wheel wells from the salt.

[@4wdAdventurz]

I’m sure I’ll have to trim more. But honestly, I’m just going to send it. Whatever has to get cut will get cut…not going down in tire size.

[@TheSouthPaw]

@@4wdAdventurz It will be the sickest Frontier out there when your done, my advice is don't do the IMS shocks in the rear, I find my rear real stiff with IMS and stock leafs, I wish I went with the MRR, the IMS mid duty in the front feels fine for me.

[@JoseRuiz-ry2up]

5 inch lift? What parts did you use exactly?

[@TheSouthPaw]

@@JoseRuiz-ry2up 3" Dobinsons + 2" Mikeills body lift.

Maaaan, you went in half cocked again. At least you can drive it again. But getting some random UCAs, and 4600s and still running spacers on the rear. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Yeahhh. I’ll be getting matching Dobinsons in the rear next month. Need that next KZbin check to come through.

Do the real titan swap with the v8! 😂

[@4wdAdventurz]

You got the money, honey, I got the time

[@9MilNorm]

Couple questions, would a 1 inch body lift help with the 35 inch tire clearance? Also, will the 6 inch lift be intact after it’s taken off? Can it be put into another truck? Answered my last question didn’t ya. lol.

[@4wdAdventurz]

The spacer will help but I don’t think it’ll be enough. Yup. All you’ll have to do is get extended brake line, otherwise it’ll all be intact and ready to use. I’ll reconfirm all this when the lift has been removed and I can see everything, but I’m 99.99% sure it’ll be fine..

[@Sirkazzerino]

As far as trimming, I would advise replacing your front bumper and doing essentially a "viper"-esque cut to give yourself plenty of clearance.

[@Downtimelost]

Gonna be such a sick set up!!

[@4wdAdventurz]

Yes sir! I can’t wait to get it done. Just a few more weeks..

[@ddhdstewf]

That offset with the titan swap might poke way out there.

[@4wdAdventurz]

Yeah…I’m gonna try it but idk..😬😬

[@brettiverson220]

I’m looking to titan swap right now and am going back and forth between the dobinson ims and radflo 2.5. Did you get any info about either product that swayed you to make your final decision? What spring weight on your dobinsons did you go with?

[@4wdAdventurz]

From my understanding, the bushings on the radflo’s are a bit noisy in the Dobsons was a bit better in price. Went with the 220 spring rate. Probably should’ve went 110 but I was afraid the 110 wouldn’t be enough to handle a bumper and winch..

[@brettiverson220]

@@4wdAdventurzI’ve heard radflo is more desert runner/ race style shock while dobinson is more for overlanding but idk how accurate that is. I love the red springs tho!

[@terencetampan5811]

You need rear locker first

[@4wdAdventurz]

All in do time. When I get the M205 ready, I’m going to put a locker in it and the rear as well.

[@josephmenna3985]

The rig is about to be awesome 🔥

[@troythurston4724]

Do you have any concerns about removing your sway bar for the swap? I want to do the swap but a lot of folks mention how bad the body roll is. My truck spends a lot of time on the road.

[@4wdAdventurz]

Not really. I have it partially removed now. One side is completely detached. So I would imagine it’s not doing anything currently. We’ll see how it feels with the new spring set up.. we’ll see how it goes 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@NeverlandAdventures_]

Good plan. It’s always a process and money.

[@mafosa8519]

those new upper control arms. you'll have to grind about a 1/4" off the frame pocket for those beefy joints to fit. (headache!)

You think so!? 😳 that would suck..

[@4wdAdventurz]

I’ll measure them tomorrow to see

[@champsworld10]

keep your rims and put some 33x12.50's. Can't wait to see it with the swap!!

Ill be looking at this for future titan swap. Plus the left over parts would roll over to the prox my lady got

[@Meanderthal-Adventures]

Something you might want to consider, and Chad at All Dogs just did a video on their 3rd gen, is to go with a set of V8 Pathfinder rotors and calipers. Bigger tires = more rolling weight = need more time to stop. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4jZoISQntiCqs0si=UJq6qPAyvGc8Iuy9

[@4wdAdventurz]

Yes! I definitely want to do this. This is mainly way I was hesitant on keeping the stock 16” wheels. There would be no room for bigger rotors… after the diff is ready to go (hopefully by end of the year) this is on the list

[@Meanderthal-Adventures]

@@4wdAdventurz I didn't realize you were on 16's. Yeah, 17's would be a must. As far as your diff's go, if you're going with a front locker, I'd do it while you're regearing it. No need to pay for a diff set-up twice. Buy once cry once...
