Most of you don't follow my build thread so I thought I should add this to the 1st gen forum. Just wanted to show that if you are dumb/stubborn enough you can Titan swap a 1st gen.

All you have to do is cut everything off and start from scratch.

2003 2wd It's got:
Titan Dirt King race kit
Titan Currie axle -, with a ford 9" gear set, 6.66 gears with a Detroit locker. The Currie is 4 linked.
Titan brakes on all four corners. I am upgrading the Master Cylinder to help power those.

Thanks guys! That was 2 years of planning! I just got it back so I don't have many pictures of the final product. I'll have more this weekend I hope. Working long hours every day.

I've got a ton of making of videos on my youtube channel though.

Some very simple testing. Nothing crazy yet..

Damn! Haven't been on the site too much recently, but I feel like it wasn't that long ago your truck looked very different. Well done with it. Looks bad ***

It turned out awesome, Erik. I remember you telling me over the years here about all you were going to do and in my head, I kept saying, "I'd like to see that". Well, now I see it and I freakin love it. You going back to black?

Great looking build!

Another short video. Video doesn't do it justice how cool it felt sliding over those dunes like it was nothing.

oh and yes, it will be all black again.

Nice vids. Looks a little stiff. Spring rate too high?

That steering linkage is very interesting.

You might want to look into getting nitrile boots for those open ball joints (spherical rod ends or heim joints). I can't seem to find a good link to a company. But I use to kill those joints on my car till I got a set with boots on them. Looks something like this

Very possible. Took a wild guess for the spring rate. After the springs relax a little we might change them. Thanks for the suggestion!

I am in aw. MetalAlien your truck is so insane! Do you daily drive it? If I ever did this, I'd need it to be good enough to run the interstate, town roads, and of course dirt! Amazing truck

Thanks man! It took a long time to get it like this. For the time being yes I am daily driving it. As soon as I pay my card back down I am getting a 2nd car so I can retire my truck to just going off road.

Eric, you were supposed to get the second car first so you did not have to borrow one for however many months it took to build that behemoth!

Yea right..lol I can barely afford either! My truck would not have survived following Nomad long enough to get the car first.
