Titan Swap(done&pics)

HunterFL772 · Apr 21, 2010

Ok guys, I started on monday and working just during my second block(100min per day) finished my titan swap this morning. Its aligned and everything, all done by myself and will some hands in auto-tech.
I followed most of shinjaris writeup but never had to remove the shock. I did run into problems with the steering shaft and that one bolt. so instead of cutting out that bolt I removed the steering shaft to get to it. Not a bad install but im still waiting for my prg brakelines. I got enough slack outta my stock ones to drive it home but it will sit until the SS ones arrive.

so here are some pics. O and the last one is my tire rubbing against the fender. I melted it back but it still rubs. should i cut it out? you can see in the picture where i melted.

thanks enjoy!

:suicide-santa:

Nope only look at pics

This is what I had to do to mine just to be safe. Tires are expensive. Oh then I covered it with some door molding. Looked pretty good and I was done with it

Kick a$$ write up! I'm pumped for ya! I'm close to doing mine! All I need is LCA's.
Oh, and I need tie rod ends. I can get them at napa, right? Same with the Titan stock brake lines, right?

Last thing, are the stock rims? Or stock size off set?

Thanks

penski61 · Apr 22, 2010

you keep the stock tie rod ends , you need to get the extensions from prg

HunterFL772 · Apr 22, 2010

No you must go to prg for tie rod extensions(unless something changes) and stock Titan brakelines WILL NOT WORK. I tried but was disappointed when they didn't( weren't any longer than frontiers) but maybe napa got ke the wrong ones?

Nevertheless just buy the prg 21 inch lines. Cheaper than custom lines and screw right in

Stock le rims

Irongrave · Apr 22, 2010

just cut where it rubs

HunterFL772 · Apr 22, 2010

cut the plastic? i dont have the balls to cut like idleone did hah

Jordo · Apr 22, 2010

Body lift?

Hey cops in FL stricked about tires hang'en out? In PA they can pull you over, but I see sooo many truck with there tires sticken out tho. But on yours... They are really out there!

Stock titan brake lines work if you get them from the dealer. I had them on mine and sold it to 4xer and they work on his too.

HunterFL772 · Apr 22, 2010

I was thinking that maybe the 4wd lines are longer... but i told them i wanted lines for a 2wd 06 titan. but they were 35$ and prg are 79$ so i think just suck it up and go to Greg.

Irongrave · Apr 22, 2010

say no to a bl, If you were closer i would cut your truck for you

JeniorNV · Apr 22, 2010

Looking good, Hunter.

wolfman437 · Apr 22, 2010

Truck looks sick. Cant wait to get mine on, just waiting on control arms and tie rods.

If you dont want to run the extensions you can get the inner tie rods for a titan. They screw right in. They run the same r&p but their tie rods are different.

HunterFL772 · Apr 22, 2010

TO Junior- i wont be buying the lift coils, since my truck sat higher after this. sorry no guinea pig here

and i may see about cutting just a bit irongrave...
