Yes Ryan. Come help me with my diff swap. I already have the titan suspension components so you can get a look at what you'll be in for with your swap.

There were several trucks (and a Jeep) in attendance, but Steve C's lava red X and Paul's Frontier were the focal projects of the day.

Randy worked hard on grinding Steve C's coil buckets during his lift/UCA/coilover install.

We arrived late, around 3:45...and aside from a few hiccups with Paul's Frontier, a great time was had by all.  Steve C. installed his lift with Randy's help and guidance, and Paul was able to get his M205 diff installed along with new half axles.  The diff was dry, so he also added some Lucas oil 75W-90W, and then we all sat around and chewed the shop rag and talked SCCX.  

Nice to see everyone in attendance, and a special thanks to Randy & Nilda for offering their wonderful home again for Mod Day.

Until next time!

Cup cakes were definitely tasty!  Thanks Jordan.

Thanks to Nick for all the help yesterday.

So, I need to replace the pass side half axle. There are 3 choices on Rock Auto. Anyone know which one i should get?  Should I procure from somewhere else?

Here's the Rock auto link.

Had a great time Yesterday. Thanks for hosting us Randy, and thanks to everyone for welcoming in a new guy into the group.
It was no problem Paul, I had fun doing it , thanks for answering all my questions in regards to the Titan Swap.
In regards to the CV axle, Cardone is the major CV axle remanufacturer and most auto parts stores sell their products as original equipment replacements so I'd say go with one of those.

I figured cardone would be the appropriate choice. Next question: thermoplastic or neoprene boot? I'm not sure what is stock but I've read that the thermoplastic is not as malleable and crack over time.

Thanks Randy and Nilda for hosting.

Probably the neoprene boot. Never had an issue with the factory neoprene boot on our Rhinos or RZR.

Hey Guys
It was our pleasure to be part of such a great gathering of good folks!!!
This was a perfect example of what Mod Days are all about.
1.  Fun
2.  Modding (Titan axel swap, Coil overs, uppers, bucket and melt mod, AALs, shocks and sliders)
3.  Learning ( Nick/08PrerunnerX learned more than anyone wanted to about Titan swaps)
4.  Helping (Henni, Christiaan, Jordan, Nick, Justin)
5.  Good food (Pizza, Cupcakes, Killer Macaroni salad, chips and dip) Paul, Kim, Nilda, Henni and Nick and ?
6.  Pops (Steve and ??? my fridge is full)
7.  Saftey: Actually should be #2, no blood=more FUN
8.  Hot chicks dig cool trucks (Daphne and Nilda)
9.  Photos or it didn't happen, John
Thanks to everyone for pitching in.  We will do it again soon!
