2007 Tranny Mount, Exaust, and Spare

MuskyHunter · 11-17-2006, 09:26 PM

I was checking out the underside of my 07 and it looks like Nissan changed the cross member and transmission mount. From what I recall, the cross member bolted to the bottom of the frame rails (see pics). Am I remembering this correctly?

I also threw in some shots of the exhaust and the cheapo steel spare instead of the alloy spare that was in my '05. I am going to have to locate an OEM 6 spoke wheel in the future.

No, the crossmember on mine is bolted up the same way as yours.

Yeah, the Y-pipe is different. Instead of it merging together before the muffler, the '07 has the two separate pipes going into the muffler.

The cheapo spare tire is surprising. The Titan was one of the few trucks that came with 5-alloy rims. I guess Nissan decided to drop the alloy spare tire and run a cheap steel rim like most of the other trucks out there.

Huh. I do remember a brace between the two main rails that bolted from underneath and thought it was the cross member for the tranny. Thanks for checking.
