7:47 to run the stock differential you use infinity QX80 axles no custom axles needed

So for my 11 frontier I can buy 11 Titan arms and rods then put my +2 struts in? With the QX axles of course.

Thanks for the info, great idea.

Which begs the question, why not make the V8 an option to start with?

Hi Andy, great info. I just Vk swapped my Frontier, I still have my Vk Pathfinder donor. If I wanna upgrade the brakes on my frontier, I can use both the front and rear calipers and rotors off the pathfinder correct?

This video made me a subscriber 👍

I’m running pathfinder LE brakes with 16 inch sv wheels. 1.5 inch wheel spacer and a little bit of material removal on the pathfinder caliper.

What brake hose do I need to purchase?

If Titan swapped up front would it make sense to do a Titan rear end swap to keep the lug pattern the same front and rear?

Do I see 5100's in the back there? Sick build, now I know where my VK is going if/when my titan shiths the bed

Cold ones and an engine swap :D yea this guy's an engineer! Coolest video I've seen in awhile.

So I really want t to do this to my 2016 frontier desert runner. One question is that I also want to put leveling spacers on to give me a 2” additional lift. Is that possible? I’d like a 6” suspension lift, with the 4” Titan swap. Could I get longer radflow shocks that would help me achieve this?

How would you even things up in the back?

Does your MPG get better? Perfect response 😂😂😂

Thanks for sharing!! Love the fact you pointed out the upper control arm is also stock Titan and you don't have coil bucket. I am currently piecing my titan swap suspension for my Xterra

How durable will it be with stock parts? I have a stock 2016 desert runner. Could I use my stock billstiens?

Wait, do I need to titan swap my spindle?

Great Content. Andy where are you located?

Andy, I did a VK56 swap on my 2wd 05 Pathfinder and the gas mileage improved quite a bit. With the 2wd R51 having a 3.133 rear axle ratio, the VK purrs at barely 3K rpm at 100 mph. I seriously get about 26 mpg on the highway, whereas the VQ40 could manage about 23 mpg if I kept it under 70 mph. I don't expect that anyone doing the VK swap on a 4wd will share my experience with gas mileage.

The lack of change in these trucks over the years and how it's all compatible amazes me too.

So with this budget T-swap I could use stock frontier coilovers with a 2-2.5 in spacer and some adjustable cam bolts and be somewhat aligned/ lifted? I would do it for science, but atm it is my daily 😂

Engines don't blow up to often on Toyotas

If I go threw the trouble to v8 swap it want be with a Titan motor would be a LS

Awesome thanks for the info. Exactly what I was looking for. Any info on a the budget rear lift to level it? Some rear info would be much appreciated.

i just bought a 2014 sv 2.5L and i already want to put in some better suspension and your videos really help. i mechanically retarded but i can do simple shit so thanks

what size bolts / thread width are you using on the stand?

I'm getting ready to swap a 4.0 on a 09 frontier any advice on the line that's in the back of the head and fire wall. Seems like I need to pull the intake but it looks like you didn't have too on this one

Do you need titan/armada spindles? Can you use 4wd spindles (titan/armada) on a 2wd Frontier? Thanks! Great video!

Hey Andy, your log is definitely the best vk swap channel on yt. I own a frontier and an armada, which I bought to vk swap my frontier. Always thought to swap as much as possible from engine, differentials, brakes etc. Great content like always. 10/10

How did you mate the vk to the automatic tranny?

Had the rear sections rust out on my 09 Xterra. Thanks for posting this!!!

You seem like an expert on these trucks. You ever heard any issues with the 2-3 shift on the 4.0 auto? Sometimes it shifts a bit hard other times its smooth as butter. Fluid has been drain and filled already. Not sure if its just a characteristic of the trans.

You should let I Do Cars know you finally a blown VQ40 for tear down.😂

I need a link for those brake lines please

You should swap a vk56 v8 from the titan as well. It is a simple-ish swap as well.

Good lookin out!

Damn! Hoping my 2016 doesnt have that going. Gonna have to crawl under and check it out. Sprayed a few cans if fluid film underneath and a couple inside the frame hopefully that will slow it down if its still a problem area.

Very useful information. Thanks for sharing. Steering knuckle is same as well?

I spray my frame with woolwax. Ill have to watch for updates. Mine is a 2018 with 32k ,but i am up north

Both Parfinders end Narrvaros have rust problems. In Iceland they were bought back under warranty.

All the D40 navaras especially in the UK had that issue. The bend at the frame rails literally would crack.

With the muffler and gas tank in place do you think a person would be successful shooting a rust proofing spray in to this area? I haven't crawled under my crew cab to look at this yet. ('11, MN truck)

Dude this deep dive into a budget titan swap was wicked to learn about. I thought a titan swap wouldent of made sense for me until now. Only hard part sounds like switching out the front diffs on the floor. i would want to run stock parts for sure rather then custom 1 off half axles

I fr thought the thumbnail was a picture of a cave 😂

Toyotas of that era are the same but at least they gave you a new frame under recall.

loud ass annoying video

Just buy a Jeep

This Nissan Frontier is the D40 correct? Because I believe the D40's front IFS is also similar to the D23 NP300

The main reason I went with SPC upper arms for my truck was for ability to push the wheels forward to give more room for the tires while still allowing proper alignment specs. I was able to use the ADO lockout washers maxed out and used the upper arm to set the camber and caster. It is still a ball joint, so I doubt any travel was gained over an OEM arm.

To much talking about the swpat and not doing explaining why what and suggesting
