Earlier this summer I swapped the rear axle and the front diff to a 3.69 gear ratio and wired up an elocker in the rear.

Its my daily driver and I try to make it to the mountains every weekend to explore some new area around Washington.

Awesome X man! Looks like you get out a lot too, the pictures you have are great.

 

[moonpatrol]

Awesome! My pro4x wants to be like that when it grows up.

What are those two antennas? Looking into options now for 2m and possibly HF

Thanks! It's been a fun build! I've had alot of great times with the xterra. And see some cool things!

The white "pole" was for a flag but the flag fell off and so its really just for looks lol and I'm just to lazy to take it down.

The black is a 4ft firestick hooked up to my CB

That'll be me next. In a few years I'll get a frontier and start that build. Got my eyes on titan swap!

Yes that’s my plan to.

Yes!!!

You swapped in 3.56 gears? Did you mean to say 4.56 gears? If not, why so high?

 

[MrBoJangles]

3.69 gears. I sourced a complete rear axle assembly and matching front diff.

A few reasons,
The m226 axle for pro4x models comes with an eLocker
I originally had a c200 axle with 3.13 gear ratio. And with all the added weight, the xterra was really bogging down.
The m226 is a stronger axle than the c200

I also have 33" tires and I've been told that paired with 3.69 is the best. If I move up to 35" then I would go up to 4.10 or 4.56

Ok. The 3rd gen 4runners come with 4.10 and 4.30 if you have the e locker. I run 32’s and the 4.30’s. Isn’t the rear axle on your X a Dana 44?

Ahh thats interesting, I did not know that about 4runners. Is it the same with the newer ones?

From my understanding, the m226 is sort of a D44 variant. It's a design from Dana that's based on their similar era D44HD diff.

 

[Graeman]

I don’t know what the new model 4runners carry. I am pretty sure that they have 4.10 gears though. Toyota does not like spending money on bettering the fuel economy on their vehicles. Lol

Hey bud! I'd recognize that TNX format anywhere!

Yeap! I'm trying to get my stuff out there on both forums. Still pretty new to this forum, though. Working through the kinks!
