sooo how was it?? got some good pics??

NorCal 4x4 · 11-16-2008, 02:45 AM

Yep, it was a great day, and for the most part a great time ...

mrmags8, the OP, was the first out there, with one of his friends. One of my sons, and I were next, then Chevykilla530 with his BD tuner and his grandfather's quad, and SeahawksTitan too. Later 510to530 and a friend that was in a Chevy showed, and The Italian Boy from the Spot, (wheeled with him last summer).

So, we had six Titans and a Chevy show up. The place was crawling with motorcycles and quads, and State Park Rangers chasing one little kid that decided he would make a run for it.

Btw, Titans suck ... mud and water anyway.
We had four of Titans and the Chevy out in the mud today, and all the mudding Titans had varying degrees of water in their air filters, and even up all the way to the throttle body ...possibly beyond.

Btw, the Chevy's air filter was dry ... pretty f'd up engineering Nissan IMO. Need to do a home-made snorkel, is what I'm thinking ... seen a couple of posts over at Pirate.
... to all of you off-road phobics Titan owners ... shallow mud is fun and most likely won't get sucked up. Just avoid the submersion and your air filter should be fine and dry, even with the stock setup (w/o having to get a snorkel). I've been out to PC many times with nothing more than a skid plate scratch. But the puddle was the most fun so some type of snorkel needs to happen.

Part 1, a slide show my son uploaded to Youtube.

Part 2, a video of mrmags8 Titan, in the deep water mud pit.

Part 4 is my favorite. My Titan, at the beginning, (has the flag), and the taller Titan is mrmags8, (has a sticker in the back window). This puddle is where all four Titans sucked up mud and water.

Thanks to mrmags8 for being the OP, and to everyone that showed. Hope the rest of you can make it out to the next one.

I wasn't able to get pics of all of the trucks, but maybe someone else will post theirs.

Great to be able to meet you guys and put some faces to the names in the forums!

BIG Thanks NorCal for organizing everything and showing everyone around the park, Chevykilla for bringing the PowerPup, and all 3 guys with the lifted trucks for letting me ride along! (Especially NorCal when he floored it over that jump seen in vid #2 and caught some serious air!...that was better than Disneyland!)

UNFORTUNATELY, this meet has convinced me to upgrade to front coilovers so I can play in the dirt with the big boys, so I'll be putting in a call to PRG tomorrow morning.

NorCal, I'm sure you'll be seeing me out at the park in the near future after I get the front end lifted up a bit more.

Thanks again to everyone who showed up!

mrmags8 · 11-16-2008, 07:18 PM

It definitely was a lot of fun. I got a few nice pics that i will post, just have to get them on the computer first. Maybe tomorrow. Let me tell you guys that cleaning was a pain in the arse. Spent about two hours on the exterior today at one of those car washes with the high pressure nozzles. Still not quite done. Got to get over to my friends house that has a pressure washer so that i can get all the mud from under.

Nice ... Greg will set you up with the best price/performance upgrade available, and he specs the valving, and chooses products with the valving he wants, specifically for Titans. Btw, the shot on vid #2 of my Titan on the little hill was after I had just banged the front pretty good, going the other way on it, so was being a bit of a chicken. Wish I had gotten a chance to check out your Titan. I wanted to see your Predators. Next time.

I pulled out, seriously, over 25lbs. of clay today. Mostly from the rear wheel wells, and the rear bumper. Sticky stuff they have out there. Even with tossing the big clumps into the bushes, the driveway had several shovel fulls of mud on it.

Chevykilla530 · 11-16-2008, 11:18 PM

Definitely a fun time!! Now i have to sell all my chrome and throw a lift and 35's so i can play! haha Although that little datsun seemed to get some good climbing in!!

BTW Norcal..... ur crazy! haha You definitely push that truck to the limit! i was impressed for sure! Cant wait to go out there again!

mrmags8 · 11-17-2008, 12:34 PM

Chevykilla, thanks for the timing advance. I definitely do notice a difference on the street. Oh and you are definitely right, norcal is crazy. maybe next time i'll attempt to tackle those steps.

last one. maybe our next trip should be a snow trip. i got the perfect spot. off the 50 in pollock pines. we were going to kirkwood one time and a friends gps took us the shortest way possible. unfortunately it took us on a road that they don't plow in the winter. i would love to go back.
