I have not. Few more weeks till the real hunt but I figure if there's a good deal on parts for my future rig, might as well jump on it. Unless the arms are year specific. . . Then I'll wait. That detail in the titan swap info was left out.

Got him down to 100 for the lot. Waiting on you guys to let me know if titan swap is year specific.

Anything after 2005 you should be fine.

Titan parts after 2004 will fit our rigs. I am not Titan swapped, but I've been told that OE UCA make it difficult to align the rig.
   Can anyone confirm this?

After 2005, woody? So 2005 won't work or will? Even then, would 100 be a good price for just the lowers?

I heard the same thing, from what i understand they are a little shorter than the PRGs so the cam bolt would have to be push all the way out to even get close. $100 for the set, it might be worth the test.  I paid $75 for the just lowers.

I'll see if he'll do 75 for just the LCAs. After some Googling sounds like the PRG UCAs are worth the extra coin in all ways

Or possibly 50. Asked if he'd seperate the uppers and lowers. Didn't throw a price out

fwiw, you will still have problems with coil bucket contact with stock titan UCA, not as much as the stock xterra UCA but still possible.  aftermarket is the way to go

what do you guys think? Was going to throw out 19k out the door to see if he'll do 20k which is the limit I set myself. Thoughts, opinions, advise?

That is not a Pro-4X. It's an S 4x4. The wheels are wrong, it doesn't have the roof lights, and it has the same seats I just pulled out of my rig. You can also see on the photos of the interior that it has the open pocket next to the 4x4 switch, instead of the buttons for the hill start assist and e-locker. As previously stated by a few members, you can't really trust what the dealerships say about the trim levels. There is a guy in my neighborhood who swears up and down that his 2006 Xterra has the "Nismo Offroad Package." He bought it from a dealership in the Midwest brand new, and they slapped a "Nismo" sticker on the airdam (which isn't even the correct font and seriously looks like it was just made at the swap meet), a brush guard and a pair of cheap aftermarket driving lights on the brush guard. I'm sure they marked it up at least $6 or $7k on him, too.

I paid $17,500 for my S 4x4 which was 2 years older than this one at the time of purchase, but also only had 33k miles. So pricing is more or less in line with the going rate (if you can get it for $19,500 or $20,000), but it's not what you're looking for.

Gahh! thanks for the heads up.  Glad I posted on here before wasting gas to go out there and check it out to find that out. What year did they start putting the lights on top for the pro-4x?

I believe they started installing the roof lights with the 2009 and newer, which is also when they re-designed the look of the grill and front bumper. I believe they called the trim level the "Off Road" through 2010 and began calling it the "Pro-4X" in 2011.

So if I'm correct, an 05-08 "Off-Road" will not have the roof lights, an 09-10 "Off-Road" will have roof lights, and an 11-15 "Pro-4X" will have roof lights.

Cool thanks again! Probably settle for an S still. I saw that a pro-4x was near by and was going to jump on it if legit
Turned out it wasn't :/
