Title: doin a titan swap Post by: penski61 on June 10, 2008, 10:16:56 PM well i had the stuff sitting in the garage for a while , wasnt sure if i wanted to do it cause the extended axles are
$560 , well i talked to an offroad shop and they said quite a few people have cut the axle in half and sleeved them with a piece of chromoly , well since i had an extra set of shafts i decided to give it a go , worked out pretty well just got to do the other side then get tie rod extensions and longer brake lines , ill probably get tc uca or prg uca later down the road , but money is tight kept the frontier spindle , but you can replace the spindle with a titan spindle to get the 6 on 5 or whatever the bolt pattern is gained another 2" of down travel but havent tested up travel yet (http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z219/penski61/Picture002.jpg) (http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z219/penski61/Picture003.jpg) Title: Re: doin a titan swap Post by: SteeevO on June 10, 2008, 10:57:26 PM looks good man :thumbup:
let us know how the trail test goes. I do have a ? though... would one be able to take titan outters front and rear to convert fron the 6-on-funky bolt pattern to 6-on-5.5 from the titan? Title: Re: doin a titan swap Post by: penski61 on June 11, 2008, 07:31:09 AM yeah you could do it 2 diff ways , upfront u have really one option
use a titan spindle rear switch to a titan rear axle , or buy adapters i already had the adapter for the regular lug pattern and to keep the track width the same as the front youll need the adapters , only thing i dont get to keep are my steelies cause they will be sticking out way to far in the front , so no adapter in the front and adapter in the back Title: Re: doin a titan swap Post by: NismoCC on June 11, 2008, 10:29:16 AM Very Cool Penski. I can't wait to see how this works out on the trail. Just as I thought I may be starting to catch up just a little, you leave me in the dust again... haha. Which is very cool might I add. :thumbup: Title: Re: doin a titan swap Post by: penski61 on June 11, 2008, 09:17:11 PM (http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z219/penski61/titanvsfrontier.jpg)

(http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z219/penski61/Picture009.jpg) just need to get the rims swapped over and get a shop to bleed the lines right Title: Re: doin a titan swap Post by: X_Trippin on June 14, 2008, 03:24:57 PM Thats so cool, looks like there is way more down travel do to the fact that the UCA's are no longer hitting the spring bucket.
Title: Re: doin a titan swap Post by: penski61 on June 14, 2008, 04:57:05 PM they still hit the coil bucket but due to the diff length of the frontier and titan uca that is the reason for more down travel :thumbup:
but had to switch back to nismo rims , and my gosh steelies are alot heavier (http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z219/penski61/Picture013.jpg) (http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z219/penski61/Picture014.jpg) Title: Re: doin a titan swap Post by: the007forum on June 16, 2008, 06:30:27 PM nice! im still deciding if i want to do it that way or wait till i can get PRG titan uppers and bigger coilovers. how easy was the axle swap?
Title: Re: doin a titan swap Post by: penski61 on June 16, 2008, 09:30:05 PM dont know :-P , i cut and sleeved mine haha , but ill eventually get the ones from prg
goin stock uca and lca from the titan still makes a huge diff over frontier uca and lca Title: Re: doin a titan swap Post by: penski61 on June 27, 2008, 08:19:00 PM new pics got some new stuff :)

How much exactly did you extend them??
Title: Re: doin a titan swap Post by: penski61 on June 29, 2010, 07:05:54 AM extending them was a temporary thing that last a few weeks , i have the ext axle shafts from prg and havent had any issues with them
