Heavy Duty 300M / 4340 Choromoly CV Shafts for Nissan Xterra / Frontier R180 Font Differential by RCV

Nissan R180 CV Axle Shafts

We’ve heard the stories on the message boards and we’ve seen it at various Nissan events like GONE Moab. The ’05+ Xterra / Frontier OEM Front R180 CV axle shafts just aren’t holding up, which is why we’ve been seeking out a better option and contacted RCV Performance who makes 300m CV Joints and 4340 Axle Shafts.

The RCV outter cv joints are made of 300M and have a maximum safe operating angle of 43 – 45 degrees.  degrees. while the inner 300M CV typically see’s a nice increase in operating angle over stock as well. (no definite angles at the moment for the nissans) The shafts are made of 4340 Chromoly all of which is made here in the U.S. The CV’s are also rebuild-able and easy to maintain with a zerk fitting on the end of the shaft. The expected price is $1995.00 for the pair. and comes with a “No Questions Asked” limited lifetime warranty.

A sample shaft will be to RCV late next week and from there R&D will begin immediately (around Sept. 9th. ) and a production batch could be ready as soon as late October.

I’d like to see at least 7 people with immediate interest in these shafts to help keep things on this timeline. RCV really tries to produce at least 10 sets at a time. things start to get way too expensive if we run any less.

Please comment below if you are interested and if you  would be looking to buy within the next 3 months, 6 months, 1 year or more than 1 year.

Thank you for your interest and feedback.

Nissan Titan Ring & Pinion Gears, Front & Rear Still Available!

Sadly, a few months ago Superior Axle & Gear suddenly and unexpectedly closed their doors. When Nissan enthusiasts were crying out for aftermarket gears, Superior answered. This allowed Nissan Titans, Xterras and Frontiers to support heavier loads and push larger tires both on the trail, and off. Although they are no longer around to help with new projects, I’ve been able to keep the Nissan gears available and I’m happy to say that Rugged Rocks still offers front and rear gears for both the Rear M226 (dana 44 Variant) and the Front M205 Differentials in both the 4.10 and 4.56 ratios.
If you have any questions about gears for your Nissan or to order Nissan Titan Ring & Pinion Gears, visit www.RuggedRocks.com or call 909-547-4651.
