CM,

I bet it is! Hey, what's the mpg on that thing?

[Candyman]

Hey their Teekypt,

A lot less than I would hope for, but it is a pretty good sized truck. It will get around 14 - 16. Ya do wind up paying a bit for the Titan V8, but to my amazement it has enough power to smoke those wheels which is pretty good!

I actually went through most trucks before I got this one, but I was really impressed with the truck, power, ride, and price on this one! I was really surprised! Nissan really makes a great truck, and I would probably look at another in the future!

Take er easy!

Well yeah...I mean what V8 gets high mpg. 14-16 in the city ain't that bad. I've also heard that the Nissan Titan is cool! I like the dodge trucks myself, cuz I like the duallies (sp?)...I like the versatility of being able to make a living w/one. Hey, if Nissan would come out w/a dually, that would be a trip!!! Probably out sell everyone!

[Candyman]

Yeah no doubt, a Titan duelly would be pretty trick!

I had an old school 1980 chevy duelly back once upon a time that was dang near bulletproof! My all time record for most weight pulled was one time a guy asked me if I could pull a 70' single wide mobile home 50 miles. The thing did it no problem!

Later, I rebuilt it into a full on lead sled, body chopped, on the ground. That was the funnest truck, and I regret ever selling it!

Sounds tight!!!! My dad has duelly and delivers stuff all over Texas. He used to deliver outside the state but realized he needed CDLs to do it. Now he just stays in Texas

Here's my daily driver/work truck. I bought it last year to retire the PT from scrapin too many driveways, and hopefully in the not to distant future get my PT on air bags so I can make it up onto a trailer for hitting some of the shows farther away from home. The truck is just so much easier on my back!

Its an 05 Nissan Titan, with 22" OZ Wheels, Borla 2 1/2 cat back exhaust, and a 2000 watt JBL Audio System.





Not too bad for a driver. Now if I could just fit those wheels under the PT, I'd be all right

Take er easy!

Badass truck, Candyman!

I've always loved the Titans and that color and those rims just blow it out of the water. Excellent job

Hey ucantcme,

Thank you! I much appreciate it! The truck was actually a compromise as I had my sights set on a more ambitious project, but the funds, and timing aren't in the chips at the moment. It really is a great truck, and sometime within the next year, or year and a half, it is gonna be handed down to my son, and then comes the fun part

I have been working on my "Project Suburban" for a while now, and am looking big time forward to the build!

Here's a rough idea of the body style, and height

:

Its gonna be a gutted 91-92 Chevy Suburban. I am gonna modify the firewall, etc, and fit up a small Caterpillar Turbo Diesel, and an Allison automatic with overdrive, along with a 4" unrestricted exhaust!

Next, my buddy who designs, and builds off road Trophy Truck suspension is gonna jack er up 13", add 6 Billstien reservoir shocks, custom coils, and give er approx 14" of travel! Then cap the whole hand made suspension with a set of 40" Swampers, on 20" black Beadlock wheels with blue anodized trim.!

Next, a full cage, and heave duty front, and back bumpers. The front bumper will house a winch, skit plating, and two Hella lights. Next will be a roof rack which will haul two spare tires, 4 more Hella Lights, and storage.

Inside, the floor will be black Rhino lined. The seats will be black leather air ride truck seats, with the front two also having heat, and massage.

Outside, bumpers will both be black, and we will have a good sized custom cowl induction hood to keep things running cool. The body will be black pearl with a second tone of Candy Cobalt Blue down the sides!

And the list goes on, and on, and on!: D

Now that is my Ultimate Dream Truck of all time! It will come to be one of these days! All in good time!

Take er easy!
