Pics of my truck after it's 2nd birthday bath...

[DaveS]

Here's my 2004 SE 4x4 Crew Off-Road, with Utility Bed and Pop Package w/Captian's Seats. I've now owned it 2 years and it's got 27,168 miles on it, at least 10,000 of those are towing 8,500 lbs of boat around the southwestern U.S.

Modifications:

1) K&N filter.
2) Nissan seat covers.
3) Rear sub-box with 2 Rockford Fostgate P-2 subs and an Eclipse EA-3422 amp under the front seat.
4) XM Roady 2 satellite radio hard-wired to Aux jack.
5) Nissan bug guard.
6) Thule bike rack and gear basket on Thule load bars mounted to the Utili-Trac with custom CNC'd billet mounting brackets.
7) Nissan overhead rack.
8) Magellan Merdian Gold GPS on suction cup mount.
9) 2005 finned diff cover (after I seriously cooked the original steel one).
10) Nissan running boards.
11) Super-deluxe custom-cut astroturf bed mat for camping.

Problems in 2 years:

1) Front brakes. Done 4 times before final fix in mid-'05. Now perfect since with essentially ZERO brake dust.
2) Big time front seat squeak. 2 dealer tries to fix - still squeaks.
3) Cooked rear diff cover. Dealer gave me finned one for free and synth fluid.
4) ZERO AM radio reception. New radio on order by dealer for over 1 year.
5) Gray paint wearing off steering wheel swtiche's trim pieces. Replaced twice and needs it again.
6) My fault - Replaced front bumper, headlight and bumper finisher due to parking lot bender.
7) Broken little plastic hinge pin for 1 dome light. Requires replacement of the whole front section of the roof console. On order from dealer.

That's it. It's been a great truck so far and I'd buy another in a heartbeat. I paid about $34,000 for it plus $1,400 for the 7/100,000 Gold warranty. People still ask about it almost everytime I get gas. Tows like the boat isn't even back there.

Still looking good after 2 years.

I'm just jealous of you being able to wash your truck in your driveway - I wish it looked like that in front of my house right now.

I usually can't do that either at this time of year, but with tempertures approaching 60 here in Ohio I may have to do it this week.

I grew up in the snow and loved it, and after 15 years in San Diego would gladly give up a whole winter of 72 degrees (like it was today, and will be tomorrow) to see some real weather again. I've been known to drive 5 hours to see snow, eat lunch, then drive right back home. Then do it again the next weekend.

Nice! We have the exact same truck too! Color and all. Happy 2nd. Mine was just 1 this past October.

You have great taste in trucks. White is really the only color to get. How many miles have you got?

I just hit 17k this weekend. Washed mine today as well (albeit, in my heated garage though). And we have to drive far more than 5 hrs to see 72 degrees...lol

I love the white. I had to go outside to see if my truck was there. This looks like mine. I have the overhead system and the gear basket also. I put the basket up top so that I can haul the kayak. I made a bracket to hold the bed extender as well. Nice truck!

Beautiful truck. Congrats on keeping it that clean and nice looking for two years (although it isn't too hard to do in dryer southern climates )

[TitanInRSD]

Do you happen to live around the Rancho San Diego area?

[DaveS]

No - I live in Vista. On the western side near Palomar Airport. So close in fact I can tell the color of the pilot's eyes as they come in to land!
