Default time to say goodbye

Hey everyone, whats up? Guess it's time to say goodbye to the Tundra. Not that it was a bad truck, I just needed something a little bigger. Between the Tundra crew cab and the Titan Crew Cab, I went with Nissan. Both trucks have their ups and downs, but I felt that the Titan had more power and better styling. I'm also sure I'm gonna get flamed, but I hope not. I learned a lot about trucks from this website, and i AM gonna miss the tundra. As a matter of fact, i just saw someone driving my old truck down the street yesterday. Anyway, here's a before and after.

Well, your photo at least doesn't accentuate how ugly Titans are, especially coming and going. And the good news for Titan drivers is they are not subjected to the external view of their rigs.

You couldn't hold out another year and wait for the new Tundra?

Unfortunately, the new Tundra bodystyling doesn't do anything for me. Im not saying it's ugly, so don't misinterpret it. In my opinion, it just isn't the right style for me

as for titan quality issues, where is this based on? IT's only been out for 2 years, and every car has had the problem bunch. The toyota celica was known for over-reving when it first came out, the new 3-series has also been experiencing blown gaskets at no more than 200miles on the Odo. As a matter of fact, I also had a TSB on my front brakes on my 02 Tundra prior to trading it in. What am I working towards? THat each car/truck has had quality issues during its first year of production. Basing quality issues on a new model is unfair. Now, if the Titan was out for as long as the Tundra and did have the same issues, then that statement would be warranted based on long-term drivability.

Either way, I respect everyone's opinions on the decision I made, that's everyone's privilige. I was just hoping that the same respect I felt i received when i had the tundra wouldn't change just because i "jumped ship" or what not

curiosity's sake, in the pictures of the bedcage, is there any reason why the just put one angled support from left to right on the uppermost section running from the roof to the rear of the cage? would having one solid support be stronger than x'ing it?



that's a work of art regardless, the whole thing looks bulletproof.

your new truck looks great, I love LIFTED titans, only lifted tho, they look squatty stock.

I am not diggin the rims tho, looks a little like a car wheel.

pretty wild set up... i wonder how stable the rear end is w/ all that linkage...

and i'd have to imagine, with the angle of that front track bar, that there's some hella bump steer.
