Because of this channel, I just purchased a Titan
... I hope you have many fond memories and enjoy the ride!
I love my Titan Pro4x. Powerful V8.
Beautiful truck/over landing rig. Never been a Nissan guy until almost a year ago I purchased a 2023 Frontier and WOW I’m blown away. The new body style reminds me of a baby Titan and they are very chiseled and tough looking. Comfortable reliable and the perfect balance of utility and technology. Nice video bro good to see Nissan truck content. God bless
The Frontier is one of my all time compact/ smaller pick-ups on the market.
Great to see another Titan out there. Glad it is serving you well. Thanks for your support of veterans and American made products! Those Rotopax would look great on my Pro-4X!!
Right on
Very underrated trucks, they don’t get the publicity they deserve
Nice rig bud. I’m a proud owner of a 2019 Titan myself (truck doesn’t get the credit it deserves). Anyways, I look forward to converting it into an overland rig and hitting the backcountry with my family.
... Thanks and that’s great to hear!
Cool video. Glad to see other Titan enthusiasts. Most people these days are all into the Toyota. I switched to Nissan about 18 months ago. So far so good. Currently in wait time on my ARE Z series.
Thanks and welcome to the channel!
Great setup. Nice to see others doing things with thier Nissan Titan. I just moved out to the Joshua Tree National Park area and your videos give me alot of great ideas for setting up my vehicle to go off roading. Keep up the great videos.
.... Great to hear and congrats!
Thanks for responding, I am going to look at an ARE topper Friday and than I will build out the bed. I am putting in drawers and a slideout since I'm getting toooooo damn old to climb up to the front :)) Thanks again.
P.S. I recently purchased my first knife blanks and am in the process of making some walnut handles. I have been watching your videos along the way.
Steve
Steve Troiano 👍🏼
LOVE your titan. I like to see titan guys getting into Overlanding more.
Regis Riley .... You and I both! Thanks for stopping over!
Appreciate your support of vets. Wish I had found your channel earlier, nice rig! I am building a 2010 Titan that I got about a month ago. I have a Leer topper and I want to put a roof rack on it, but insanely nervous about drilling into it... kinda like you mentioned
Your points are very solid. Thanks for sharing your video
Glad it was helpful!
I'm getting the 2021 Titan Pro-4x. Love your rig. I'm gonna keep it much more simple. Love all your enthusiasm and extensive ideas and clarity.Thanks.
Pro4x is a great choice. When I was shopping around I couldn’t pull the trigger in the few I saw back then. Kinda wish I did, especially after the 2019 Nissan USA trip I did. Those are real nice upgrades.
I like your set up. I have a 2018 xd I bought new. It's been a good truck.
I have a 2017 Ram 1500 and just beginning my overland build. You have some great ideas. Thanks for making the video.
Bob Hill ... That’s great Bob! Thanks for stopping over.
Killer rig! I have the same truck minus the camper top. 2017 SV 4x4 Bilstein 5100 shocks wheels and tires. I haven't gotten to the overlanding setup just yet. Only have had it for less than a year. Just an awesome setup!
Steve Kirkland ... That’s great to hear!
I just got a 2017 titan SV...the gun metal gray. My best gas mileage is 21.4...but usually around 18 or 19
2006 nissan titan Texas Edition sees the forest regularly. I love it. Titan is a tough truck. I do a RTT also with a iceco double compartment fridge/freezer. The titan takes me where we want to go. Great setup.🙂👍☕
Nice job on this video. You've done a great job putting your rig together, it looks really nice. I appreciate your
detailed information on your equipment. Thanks for taking the time putting this together.
Kathy Dietrich ... Thank you very much and WELCOME!
You inspired me to work on my 2021 titan thank you
Just don’t blame me when you get carried away! 😉😂
I have a 2021 Titan Pro 4X - love it! It rides and handles GREAT! Plenty of horsepower! Nice rig and thanks for the video!!
Glad you like it!
Chad, really enjoyed the video. Good to get actual user feedback on the many mods you have done, overall great overland build !
Glad you enjoyed it!
👍 I want your setup! it's so perfect for what I'm trying to do!!
BRilliant idea for using that dash panel to create a universal mounting system for electronic devices. Same for mounting the spare fuel tanks.
.... Thanks
Great video! I just bought a Nissan titan and I have leer on order now! Your video is very helpful and I am looking forward to outfitting my rig very similar to what you have in this video. Thanks for making it!
Love your setup! I’m looking to do something similar to my 17’ Titan for hunting/camping. Thanks for the awesome video!
Joe DeVito ... That sound like an awesome reason! Thanks for coming by. I’m hoping to have more things coming in the next few months.
Roto Pax and Ram dash mount are some awesome mods! Keep on posting these awesome videos for the Titan.
Glad you like them!
Trip is looking good. Can't wait to start to up grade my Titan. Really like those side mount options you put on the cap.
Thanks 👍
Excellent quality video
Just purchased my 2020 Titan XD. Ready to get it fitted out. Thanks for the ideas, good video.
Good luck!
Great video and a very nicely equipped truck. Appreciate you taking the time to explain all of your adds. Completely agree on supporting local / vet businesses and Made in the USA. OBTW - love my knife. Take care.
Terry Duprie ... Hi Terry! And glad to hear.
Nice mounts Chad! I've been looking at DIY mounts for my Jeep like that. Looking forward to seeing the upgrades in person in the future 👍
Right on!
Wait ha ha your name is Chad too ha ha broooo building my 18 out
Like the videos alot you are one of the only people building a titan
Yeah, most folks just do a 6" lift and then change lights or paint parts. Not alot of support for doing a build like mine.
@@CKKnifeandTool I know and what you have done is more what u want I have a 2018 pro 4x
Great video bud!! I love the canopy mount options, well done!
Tristan ... Thanks Pal!
Great video! Glad to see all the upgrades on the rig. Impressive innovation with your set up!
Greg Miller ... Thanks!
Winner!!! reach out to me via my website and send me your address so I can send off your prize!
@@CKKnifeandTool woohoo!!! I can really use those Rotopax!! Thank you so much! Excited to mount them on my Tacoma with your design and assistance.
Hey, great job on the build. I have a frontier now another titan in the future. The topper on the back with the set up makes perfect sense for my setup. Thanks for sharing
... Thank you for stopping by and for the support!
Just found your channel today and I'm loving your overland videos. We're looking into getting a 2019 Titan Pro4x and turn it into a camper/overland vehicle. Thanks for sharing your advice!
Roto packs for the win!
Thanks. Love your set up.
Peter Spencer ... Hello Peter and thanks for stopping over!
Nice truck and walk around.
Thanks 👍
@CK Knife and Tool You bet, I've got a 2015 build that is coming along nicely. Next is a rock slider set up that has an attached foot ladder that goes up the rear of the back door, across the top, and back down the other side. Can't wait to see how much it helps with the RTT setup and take down.
Thanks for the video! Guana is really a great company. Can’t wait for the Morpho to arrive 🤙 Greetings from a German TH-camr in Lower Alabama 🏕
Built Not Bought TV ... Hey there! Welcome. Or should I say “Willkommen!”
CK Knife and Tool Dankeschön, I really enjoy being in this country. Been following your projects quite a bit. Weiter so!
nice rig bud, Big fan of expedition overland too those rotopax would come in handy. keep up the vids 👍🏻
Thanks, will do!
I have a 2020 titan sl 4x4 I'm going to build. I love these trucks. You've done a good job with yours
Thanks!
awesome video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Rotaxcular ! Nice job outfitting your rig.
Thanks! 👍
Damn wish I could of found this video sooner I could use those roto packs. Just getting started and it gets expensive fast. Great video glad I found you
Awesome Rig!!!!!
Thanks!
The time to deploy argument always puzzles me. Why the hurry? I want to slow down and savor my outdoor experience, avoid the rat race. That said, however, my main issue with my old soft-shell rooftop tent was that as a solo overlander, I had to climb up on tires, cab and a small ladder to deploy (2013 Tacoma Access Cab 4x4 i4AT, SnugTop Shell). It took a few falls off the ladder on uneven terrain to convince me to switch to a hard-shell RTT. I'm getting older, so now I'm changing my rig to minimize lifting, climbing and extensive set ups (as in replacing 65qt roto-molded ice chest weighting 100 lbs full with an ARB Zero fridge). Thanks for the update on Trip, that's one happy rig!
I agree whole heartily Jeff! And I would add, a hard shell would be much more aerodynamic and perhaps help with fuel consumption. ;)
Dude some Awesome stuff for the titan. Just starting my build keep the videos coming,
Todd Capizzo ... Thank you! I’ve got a few videos in the playlist but sadly I’m not a great videographer. There’s another video coming out in a few weeks on my Titan and then perhaps the video on how I did the mounts for the RotoPax fuel cans and the ARB TRED Pro’s.
checked a few other videos yesterday. Do you like the Icon wheels,did you do a Viedo on how you mounted the Roto packs and your recovery boards
Cool rig
Thanks!
Great video, couldn't agree more with you in supporting made in America goods!
Thanks!
Tom Weingart ... Yes! Keep an eye out for more information coming regarding plans for CKKT and the Made in America... movement. 😉
Nice. Really digging the build. Especially, because it's somewhat similar to what I have in mind for my '18 Titan; and also, because I don't see very many Titan builds with a topper. A lot of people are focusing on using bed racks instead.
Yes, canopies/ caps/ toppers, etc... are very under rated and the fad nowadays is the new bed racks. They do look neat but you just cant beat the security and protection from the elements like a LEER (or other brands).
I would love to get to the back country and mountain trails.
Great video budd! I must have missed your ram mount video but after this I'm gonna watch it and install it on my Titan. I had see on another one that had mounted it to the their Tacoma and wanted the same set up. Hopefully I can get my Titan to look just as nice as yours!
Thanks Kyle and yes, I did two RAM mount videos. Te first was the install and the second was the update on the plastic track I originally used vs. the aluminum RAM sent me.
@@CKKnifeandTool thanks budd. I'll be doing the same thing and have a lot of stuff in mind after watching your videos for my Titan. I had been looking at some of those maxtrax style boards and I would like to know how they hold up down the road.
Love the video. Building mine up now
... Awesome!!!
@@CKKnifeandTool I have a 2018 pro4x, leer camper, icon 3” lift, BFG KO2 All-Terrain tires. You do your give away yet, for the gas cans?
They make rock sliders that offer better protection without grabbing rocks like those do.
I do recall there being several options but a rock slider is different than a side step. I chose the side step option to gain access around my rig and to assist my family in getting in and out. I never planned to do things that had me going over boulders and such. A side step offered you a little protection with accessibility.
Nice rig. I been wanting to assemble one for a while.
Right on
I cant wait to get my pro4x next month, i like the diy mods. And a tip. If you are buying from REI they have a filter that lets you see American made products.
Thanks! And I also know Sierra Trading Post does as well.
Good stuff. I would like to see this thing in action. 👍
Vick .... One day I’ll buy a drone. It’s a hard pill to swallow when building a business and a truck. That and I’m a bit of a novice to the fancier tech. But I’m looking! Thanks for stopping over and there will be more mods coming so keep an eye out. 😉👍🏼
Awesome video. Glad to see some Titan content. I have a 2018 Pro-4X I am building. I have the Icon 3 inch lift, BFG AT KO2, same Leer camper, Tyger running boards. I need gas cans! Lol. I am also working on making videos for my channel “TitanAdventures”
That is awesome!
There's a lot of items in the video but I try to touch on the main components. More additions to 'Ol Trip are in the works so make sure to Subscribe! Also, don't forget to LIKE and COMMENT on this video and head over to Off Road Tents' website (www.offroadtents.com), and follow them on IG (@offroadtentsofficial)" to get a chance to win a set of Rotopax 3 gallon Fuel cans. ;) I’ll pick a winner from the comments and likes below in October. Good luck!
Great video. Appreciate the practical approach, and it’s nice to see another Titan build out. I like the fuel and traction board mounts. Did you notice any decrease in mileage after you mounted them?
Thanks and yes. The tires were the biggest effect to my mpg over all the other upgrades. I was still getting over 24 mpg on the hwy with the suspension upgrades and the canopy but when I switched to the Grabbers which are an all-terrain and a 10 ply, that took about 5 mpg away from me on the hwy. They, or for that matter, any tire like this is heavier than an all-season radial that was only a 6 ply and being a 265 vs. the 275 I run now. Trade-off's. they stink. ;)
Chad, very interested in seeing how you built your rotopax and recovery board mounts. Great truck!
Cool, thanks!
Damn you're in WA state too?! I'm glad I found the channel, I'm considering getting a Titan w/ a Cummins.
I was in WA. Now I'm a WY local!
Great set up !thanks for sharing . Have you done a video how you mounted the rotopax ?
... It’s not edited yet but I is filmed.
Really cool video. Had my Titan since 2018. I’ve been thinking about getting a shell instead of a trifold. I just don’t think they Look good. This looks order nice though. :) great work
Thanks. The looks should be second or third priority to what you wan to use your truck for and what you want to get out of it. The hard shell was a must with what I wanted to do. Keeps things fairly secure, mostly clean, you can organize fairly well and as you’ve seen, you can get creative!
Great video and it was very informative as I also have a 17 Titan. Are the fender flares No Drill? Looking forward to future videos.
MCanfd07 ... Thanks and welcome! And here’s the video link to the fender flares I installed. th-cam.com/video/aNxULkauReQ/w-d-xo.html. It can also be found in my playlist with all my Nissan Titan upgrades and add on’s
I’m part of 901Landers in Memphis and I’m the only Titan in my group full of Toyota’s I’m so glad I found your channel to turn my 2018 Platinum into overland I’m currently looking at suspension and just wondering what all I need? Budget friendly nothing like “Kings” but what all you recommend ? Like upgrading control arms as well?
Reach out to Mike A. over at Off Road Warehouse in CA. He’s the go-to guy for Titan aftermarket and is a great resource
Yeah, drilling into the canopy was a pucker factor!! I think I made a noise like a little girl. No offense to little girls. It turned out well!! Trip is looking good. You are too!! Love ya man!!
Carl Wommack 🤣👍🏼
Chad, I was watching the video that you posted about the Nissan invitational that you attended. You mentioned something about the gas pedal lag and something you did that eliminated it but it was just in passing, I was wondering what it was that you did. Also which video do you discuss the suspension mods. I'm running a 17 Pro 4X and want to do a couple things I think it needs.
Thanks for any help and great videos. Steve
Steve Troiano Hi Steve! Yes, I have an iDrive for my Titan and it eliminated the pedal lag and then some. It was a great plug and play add-on
Hi:
I am very interested your roof rack base, what brand and how do you install on it ? Looks like drill on your truck’s roof! Could you make a video tell us how to do it ! I have a same Titan Xd also , but I can find a good roof rack base on aftermarket! . Thanks for your helping.
I have a 2012 Pro4x Titan Crew cab. Im finding it difficult finding overlanding type parts for my truck. Are there companies, sites you'd recommend i look at. Im new to overlanding and love the idea of taking what you need with you on your rig. Also love your set up.. im wanting to do something similar. Thanks for the info! Keep up the good work..
ORW or Off Road Warehouse is one. Mike A. over there has a ton of knowledge on Nissan aftermarket. After that it all depends on what items you are looking for. many are fairly universal and can be applied to a Titan platform.
@@CKKnifeandTool great! Thanks a bunch!
Do you have a lift on it ? or Leveling Kit ?
That tent set up is 100% 👊🏾
Lookout4the3rdrail ... Yes in both accounts. I started with a leveling kit and then added a larger spacer at the back to keep the rear taller than the front. I did this knowing that I would be traveling with a load of some sorts.
What size tire you running? Also your using the Bilstein suspension that the PRO 4X uses? How many inches on the leveling kit?
My tires are General Grabber ATx 275 70r 18. The suspension is Bilstein but not what the Pro4x runs. Those are stock 4100 series (the blue and yellow) and mine are the 5100/5150 series, (silver/ blue). Leveling kit and everything else can be found under the playlist for my Nissan Titan
What size truck bed is that? 5 1/2 Ft? Wait for my ARE MX cap to come in then start my build. Thanks
Yes it’s the short bed. Have fun!
I have Nissan XD diesel similar to your with RTT /
Vadim Zubkov ... That’s great. The XD is a really nice platform.
Have you looked into a decked bed system
... Yes I’d did. I also looked at Vault. I ended up with something else. You’ll find it here in my Nissan Titan playlist.
I have a 2019 titan build that has the decked system and can say enough good things about it
What's the percentage of fuel for your Titan you end up having in the extra fuel cans? 6 Gal of fuel, what does it translate to in distance on the Titan with the changes you now have made?
Rui Fidalgo ... Good question! If highway driving and loaded probably 17 mpg and if off-road, depending on speed and terrain of course, but say 12-15 mpg. So with the two cans and 6 gallons of fuel... it should be enough to help manage nay “Duh moments” 😂
@@CKKnifeandTool what if you are also towing a Toyota Tacoma??:) had to ask!!!
What model is your truck ?
2017 Titan
Do you have winch
Not yet
I have NFABS on my Tacoma and do not like them at all. Yeah they look good but the steps are too far forward and are useless for getting in and out.
I am glad you mentioned that because that's the one thing that kinda always stuck with me. I just figured it was my personal preference.
Nice truck, I overlanded my titan as well, check it out on my channel tell me what u think
Good Grief, you come off as a salesman to get free products. Who can afford all the products you push? As a disabled vet on a limited income you sound like a Christmas wishlist. I'm just hoping for the tires buddy.
Well that's an interesting take.
