I chose white on the advice on a friend, knowing that I have unrestricted access to a free carwash in my work parkade.

Black looks pretty good too - it's more off-road looking than the white letters.



Right, I forgot about your new wheel size/offsets... I'm gonna be ordering my mini-lift soon, I think. I'm gonna do some chip repair on the rear fenders then put on a bigger piece of 3M too.

I'm still trying to decide on the 2* timing advance...
Are you going with the PRG mini lift?

Yep - just debating between shackles or blocks for the rear at this point.

I guess it's just preference. I will say that the 1.5 inch blocks work well for me but I don't have the horsepower you do either. No axle wrap here.

Yeah I'm liking it a lot. Some dude asked me how I liked my Titan. Others go "nice 4x4". Not too many lifted Frontiers running 33's around here obviously but oversized tires do make it look way cool.

My tire guy said he would sell the HT's for me. He said I would get most of my money back so I'm not too worried. I have been dealing with him for 10 years and he's a real stand up guy.

Hi Cokeman - I would also be curious of the effect the tires/wheels/lift have had on your fuel milage. Can you shed any light on this? Thanks
