Hey guys im new here. I've got a 2004 Titan crew cab that I've been throwing a little money at when I can to try and build a rig. I was a little sad to find out after buying my truck that the Titans aren't as popular with the aftermarket off road scene as I thought it would be for a truck that didn't really have changes for 11 years! O well looks like I'll have to fab and rig stuff myself to work.

Current set up:
- Bilstein 5100s at highest notch for 2inch level
- black rhino wheels
- Cooper stt pros
- tuner
- undercover bed cover
- Thule canyon xt cage for bed cover ( need rails)


Plans:
- rails for bed cover
- ditch lights
- bull bar
- bed mounted diy solar shower
- on board air
- roof rack on cab( will modify prinsu for tundra)
- trying to justify a snorkel
- possible 4-6 lift


For time being I want it to be functional as a daily but capable enough for mild to moderate trails in and around Texas. I used to take my wrangler in the mountains of Colorado and I have no intention of making the full size rig tackle that. I am open to comments, suggestions, Insults you name it!IMG_1971.JPG0F9F207D-3087-443D-84EC-05813A48AD27.jpgIMG_5941.JPG

Thanks guys. I know it looks more like a street truck at the moment but the funs coming. Truck has 170k odo so here's where my money has just went last few weeks doing the work myself mind you.

-moog outer tie rod ends
- Moog lower ball joint
- new front wheel hubs
- new serpentine belt
- new radiator ( old one cracked finally. These trucks know for them bad Design)
- pads and rotors all around
- new plugs and oil change ( I know its just maintenance but money is money)


Just need new UCA'S next and it'll ride like new. Going with KSP or Rough country.
Any suggestions?

As a fellow Titan owner welcome! Always glad to see another T out here. As for upper control arms. I’ve heard terrible things on RC but heard some good. Check out CJD racing and Off-road warehouse for some deals. I spoke to the CBi/ prinsu guys at Expo East. So I’m interested in your tundra rack mod.
