Great to see you do this. This is a project high on my list for my Xterra as well. Was very excited when I saw you were making this swap... another great video and a HUGE upgrade for your truck! Congrats!
@@DIY_AUTO_PHOTO does it feel like your getting enough power? I have a sv on 33s I want to do a titan swap and get 35s but I have a arb locker in the rear so Ive got quite a few dollars invested in my rear end and everyone I talk to says to do a axel swap to a m226 so I can have better gearing options. I really don't want to do that I found re gearing kit for my axel up to 3.96 I believe it was but a lot of people I see have their m226 geared at 4.10 but I think the 3.96 should be good it maybe 3.98 I can't remember. Id like to not re gear if it works ok.
@@thedude828-ed2nn I am not an expert but from what I know.. going higher gear will kill your gas and on highway you will be going much higher RPMs 3k+ for sure.. and that will also impact the gas.. Now if this is not your daily and you building a rockcralwer then going higher gear ratio 4.10 is awesome for sure. I have yet to see any problem or lock of power with my 3.36 gear on 35s.. it gets up and goes . On highway I have an average of 2k rpms as for the rear I assume you have c200k ? if you have already locker in it.. I would just keep it and upgrade something else.. there is a video around on youtube where people talk a bout m226 vs c200k and there isn't really anything bad about c200k you know
@@DIY_AUTO_PHOTO yea it is my daily driver and gas isn't great with 33s lol but yea I have a arb rear locker on the c200k and it's great but I've been really wanting to titan swap and do 35s but I appreciate you always answering my questions you are really a lot of help for guys like me 👍👍
@@thedude828-ed2nn in the end of the day it is your rig and should do what pleases you with it )) but If I had the c200k with locker already I would just keep it )) Thank you buddy and I always try to help anyway I can and answer the best I can with what I know )
NO sir no locker in the front Diff but I wish It had it as well.. I have a friend who has both rear and front with a locker and that truck is unstoppable! lol

Do you have 35s on your truck? If so did you have to do any re gearing?
Yes I have 35s on my truck for some time now.. but no. .I have not re-geared anything... my current gear ratio is 3.36

So, you don't have any type of locker in the M205?
NO sir no locker in the front Diff but I wish It had it as well.. I have a friend who has both rear and front with a locker and that truck is unstoppable! lol
An E locker with an ARB cover 😂😂😂
