I'm in St. Charles (city), my KC 4 x 4 SE O/R is red. There is a guy who lives about 6 blocks from here who also drives a red one although I don't know him. I've seen him pull into his garage.

i'm over in glendale and commute back and forth to barnes. i've seen several in the area but only a white cc on a regular basis.

done anything with your truck? mine is still stock but i will be doing a few mods in the not too distant future....

any thoughts on which nissan dealer to get service done at? i have been using lou fusz on lindbergh and despite it's small size i have been pretty happy.

Hey 05dr, I live in Crestwood off of Sappington near Big Bend. I commute back and forth to Monsanto on the corner of Olive and Lindbergh everyday. I think I may have seen you if you drive down Warson/Woodlawn very often. I am in a 04 Canteen green CC LE.

I like the service I have received from Fusz. Stay away from Suntrup. They messed with my truck big time.

hmm... i have been over there a couple of times, and have seen exactly 1 canteen CC since being in St. louis, but that probably wasn't me. i have only been that way a few times... probably did catch yah once though. for the first few months i was here i wouln't see a titan for 5-7 days. know i see 1-2 every day!

does anybody know how involved inspections are around here? is there a visual component to it like in some states? also, any rules on window tinting... thinking about getting the front windows tinted.

Surely there are more guys (and gals) from st louis on here!

As far as the tint goes, I would call audio express. They should know the laws.

You got three years before you need an inspection on the new car. Sorry I have never taken a car to get tested yet. I have had two new cars and one was trade in before it was time to get one and the other was bought in june 04.

I live in florissant and i commute to weldon springs/ofallon every day. I am on 70 and then 94. I also spend some time in south county affton area. I drive a 05 galaxy kc 4X4. i see a red one and a silver one on a regular basis out in st.charles. I sure have been seeing more lately on the roads. I dont have any mods except for a k&n filter and sirius radio. I haven't had to take the truck in for service yet but i think i will soon do to the good ole brakes. i have 6800 miles on my truck and I think that the rotors have had their time. My uncle lives in granite city and he drives an 04 smoke kc 4X4 off road. So some of you may have seen him around.

I grew up in Affton. Mom and dad still live there. I have seen the most Titans in St. Chuck. I go there to going shooting with my friend over at Busch Wildlife. I see like 5 different Titans on the weekends. They are not as popular down here in South County. Fenton has a good share too.

[05dr]

what kind of shooting does busch wildlife offer? pistols or just rifle/shotgun?

btw, i just put on the afe stage two. will be adding tbs, bypass, and doing the ecu reset soon... any tracks around here???

You can run at Gateway International raceway. My sister's ex used to run his 98 cobra out there. It is across the river in Granite City, IL.

[05dr]

neat. you woundn't know when/if the track closes for winter would you?

are there any dyno's around here? i am thinking about trying to get a baseline before i get exhaust/rear cat delete at income tax return time....

it is just plane hard to run into someone to fool around with at stoplights around here. aside from most people driving very slow, compared to houston, there simply aren't as many over egoed people with modded trucks around here lol.

did you catch my question about busch wildlife? is it only shotguns? i have only been to one range since moving, a place on machester by the med center i am actually about to go to right now, and it is kinda pricy. i heard there were some others outside of st louis but havn't gotten any names from people. again, quite a departure from houston were there are gun ranges, indoor and outdoor, everywhere.

On tuesday nights you can run DOT approve street tires. Wednesday is slick tire night. Friday you can run slicks, street tires.Gates Open at 5:00pm

rats, looks like it will be springtime before i get the track experience then. oh well, i'm still looking forward to it!

[MO Titan]

Sorry I have not been able to find a dyno guy here yet. I think there may be one in this one auto plaza near me on Watson. I will let you now soon what I find out.

Yeah you can shoot handguns there. I think the only thing you can't do there is shoot full auto or your crossbow. Three seconds at least between shots. It is cheap as hell too. Three bucks for an hour. 3 bucks for 25 automatically shot clays (trap or skeet). It gets pretty crowded on the week ends though when it gets close to certain hunting seasons. It is run by the Missouri Department of Conservation. I have never been to it, but there is also one called Hinges off of 44 near Eureka. It is also run by MDOC. Take hwy 40 west to 94. Make a left over the highway and take right at the next light. It takes about 7 minutes to get to the range. It will be on the left. You will also notice that they have many lakes to fish from there as well. Here is some more info. Enjoy.

wow, that really is awesome. the other place i have gone to is much pricier, $15/hr with some other silly fees and no headshots . i think i may actually break out my shotgun and rifle for this place! thanks for the heads up. since my 1 day off per week is basically random the weekend thing shouldn't be too much of a hurter. i heard you can bring you pooches out there, is that true? thanks again for letting me know about all of that!

hey, i see your getting the afe intake. you'll love it.
