Appreciate it! There’s a video scheduled for Tuesday as a premier walking around and explaining the rear end swap if you want to check it out when it drops!
Nice upgrade with the heavy duty axles. Probably the most important part on a 4x4. I would caution you on the rebuild kit, highly recommend that it is good quality bearings/seals, etc. very important to use high quality parts in this application
Im currently in the start of doing the rear titan diff swap as well. Alot harder then i vision it to be. I think its a bit harder for me because my frontier is a crew cab long bed 4x4. So its not a pro4x therefor the brake lines, sensors and all that look different then the titan diff. Also since its a CCLB and non pro4x i have a long drive shaft with carrier baring and 6 bolt shaft. I definitely want to put the titan driveshaft as well, but now the carrier baring support is in the way. Lol so its alot to think of doing it on a cclb. But great vid! I subscribed and i hope to get some feed back or pointers on this rear titan swap
That's awesome! Yeah, there are some challenges for sure. I believe the shop is going to fab up a custom pinion flange to match the Frontier drive shaft to the Titan axle. I do plan on doing a walkaround of what the shop "did" with the shop owner when the truck is done to provide as much of an insight into exactly how they made it all work. My truck isn't a Pro4X either but it does already have aftermarket stainless steel brake lines in the rear which we're just going to make work. More info to come for sure and don't hesitate to ask questions! If I don't know the answer, I can always ask the shop.
@@AllThingsOverlanding awesome man! Please do and make some vids about them. Like for instance the brakes on the frontier have the hardlines on the body and on the titan the harlines are on the diff. And the soft brake lines that go to the calipers are different as well. So technically can’t use the frontier brake lines if that makes sense. Hard explain but can send some pics pics if you have Facebook messenger or something
Curious, why you would want to worry about putting a Titan drive shaft on your truck? Seems the diff and axle is the same so the Frontier drive shafts should hold up I would think, unless your going super hard core off roading. I've also got a CCLWB Frontier and am thinking about doing a Titan swap as well once I retire it from work duty. It's got 400,000+ miles on it now so when I replace it with an exact newer Frontier in a year or so Id like to make it into a dedicated overlander off roader and would like to do a Vk56 swap as well.
@@duncdunc76 Good question. Not worried about the drive shaft. I had heard that the pinion flange that connects the drive shaft to the rear diff was different but we actually found out that they matched up and bolted right up, so no changes were made to the driveshaft or pinion flange.
Love your rig. I heard you had some dealings with P&P engineering I am currently trying to contact them through email but they aren’t responding at all. Was hoping to see if you had a way to contact them via phone.
Super valid question. There are a few reasons. Because the Titan is the fullsize truck and therefore is more expensive when new, they're significantly more expensive than a comparable Frontier (even after the cost of doing the "titan swap" on it). Also, being a full size, the body of the truck is much wider so it's tougher to get down trails without body damage (granted the wheel width is titan width, but the body is still more narrow). Another thing is that the Frontiers have a lot more aftermarket support than the Titan. Lastly, totally an aesthetic thing, but I think the Frontiers look a lot better than the Titans.
hey that is a sweet truck and trailer combo...whoever helped ya out with that is a champ ;)
Haha, he is a hero, for sure. :D Thanks for your help man!
Can’t wait to see when the Frontier is all built with the new axle Fletch 🙌🏽
Thanks buddy! I can’t wait to see it myself, haha. Mainly just want to be able to go out exploring again, 😀.
Nice to see that you r truck will be back on the road some day soon looking forward to see it on the road
Fingers crossed!
Great update Fletch! I can't wait to see your rig when it's all "done" lol.
Haha, thanks man. And “done” until the transmission goes in a few months probably. 😂
@@AllThingsOverlanding is anyone ever done with modding their rig? 😅
@@mjenner89 Not until I sell it, haha! Then I just buy another one and start over.
Awesome video

Very nice, I'm wanting to put a titan axle in the back of the xterra when the time comes. Can't wait to see the frontier when it's finished.
Coming soon my friend!

Appreciate it. It's all Yukon stuff so it should be good!

@@RocSteadyChannel Yeah, great stuff! I'll talk to the shop and make a video of how they overcame those challenges. Thanks!

Pretty sure I just chatted with you in messenger, 😀. Good luck!
I hate to be a wet blanket, but why not buy a Titan?
