Frontier / Xterra / Pathfinder - Select Driveline
Select the driveline of your truck by picking the image above.
2WD Kits relocate the stock manual transmission to the rear 2" (50mm) to allow the engine to sit further back. This improves clearance for radiator and accessories and also helps weight distribution in sport truck applications. 2WD Kits also include our Road-Race Oil Pan with 11 quarts of capacity and advanced multi-stage trap door baffling. 2WD Kits also include new driveshafts, since relocating the engine and transmission requires the driveline to be shortened. These features make these kits more pricy than the 4WD Kits.
4WD Kits leave the Transmission (Manual) or Transfer Case (Auto) in their stock locations. This reduces overall swap cost by eliminating the need for new driveshafts. Technically, a 4WD Manual Kit can be purchased for a 2WD Manual Truck when swapping on a budget, leaving the transmission in the stock location negating the need for a driveshaft and running our 4WD pan which is less expensive than our Road Race Oil Pan. Note, the Road Race Pan will not fit with the engine in the forward position!
