Hi guys I'm new to the forum looking for some insight on my venture from bone stock to my t-swap dream.

Welcome from the High Desert. You've come to the right place, start reading up in the Gen 2 section of the forum. If you are interested in meeting people, there is a meet up happening tomorrow in Lancaster that might not be too far away from you (depending on how far north you are.)

Welcome from Riverside/Moreno Valley: here's a link to one of the topics that talks about the basics of a Titan swap: http://www.sccxterra.com/smf/index.php?topic=2216.msg25269#msg25269 I have a 1st Gen, so I don't really know the specifics about a Titan swap yet, but look into that and further posts to see how things work.

Wish I could make the Lancaster run. I'm from just north of Visalia (fowler) there's a big x fan base up here. I have cash in hand for my t-swap and know exactly what I want for the time being but am trying to keep my costs down and the big ticket item is the cv's... Just have a tough time accepting that there is so few options

Well...you could save a little more and just go with the full M205/Titan CV conversion?  :) :)

It's just going to be breakfast, with a possible run. I'm trying to mirror the dinner meets in OC and San Diego. We'll try to do them once a month, so there will be other opportunities.

Yah I looked into that and it would be much more $$$ as I am rolling with 3.13 gears and would have to regear my rear end or say screw it and go to the m226 Titan (which would be bad a$$)

Welcome from the OC.  My wife is from Visalia and I've done everything in power to stay away, in-laws and all.  But if I new there was some decent wheeling in the area I'd could always drop her off and go have some fun and still get the power points for going up there. ::)  Win win!!!

Welcome to the group. It is always great to have a new face in the crowd.

Are the orchards still blooming up your way? I was up your way a couple of weeks ago and they were just starting to pop.

If  you haven't already, check out thenewx.org. Between that forum and this I find just about everything I need.

Pics?

Yah the orchards are abloom. There are a few good trail heads up to the east of us and we will have to put together a run at some point when I get my rig done... I just ordered my Titan control arms and tundra coilovers, also just put my order into Greg at PRG for my half axles, tierod extensions, and my x deluxe rear kit so as soon as it all piles in I won't be Rollin stock any more. :D

That's awesome.  You'll love the swap.  But don't expect to fit in the garage much longer. :D :D  Mine hasn't seen the inside of a garage in several years, if I try, I'd end up decapitating my self and turn the X into a convertible.  Wait???  A convertible X, that could be interesting.  Toro, break out the torch!  >:D

You've got me daydreaming there. Just remove the back and install a roll bar, like an old school 4Runner. That would be sick.  :)
