OFF ROAD and ON TRACK

Building a vehicle for racing is no joke. You find yourself involved in the build to the extent that if you’re married, it can be the first step toward divorce. You are out late with your mistress night after night and your wife may be cool with your absence……until she finds out what your greasy bitch costs to keep happy. A word of advice, find out what a high quality boob job costs in your area and work that into your race budget. Only you will know when the situation has finally reached critical mass, and just before the shit hits the fan, start ducking and pull out your “how about some new boobs baby” trump card and hope that’s all it takes. This is experience speaking fellas, it worked.  I know I’ve seen myself do it.

That being said, wanna see some pictures of our Titan on steroids? Good deal, I just happen to have a few I don’t mind showin’ you.

We have a lot of people to thank who helped us out with this project. We got the truck from Mossy Nissan of Oceanside and the guys up there really know their product. The service center at Mossy Nissan Oceanside and crew who run the wrenches are top notch. Pro Comp has a huge off road product line and they provided the HID lights, tires and wheels. Blitzkrieg Motor Sports built the trailing arms and brackets and these things are damn near bulletproof. We drive the hell out of this truck over nasty desert at stupid speeds and our Blitzkriegs don’t break nor do they bend. The same goes for the Desert Specialties rear end housing. Off Road Warehouse provided pit gear, shocks, fuel cell and all the many incidentals that you need to support a truck like this.

We ended up with 26” of travel in the rear and 19” in the front with Sway-Away triple by-pass shocks and dual rate coil overs on each wheel. The full cage is all 2” Chromalloy, and we come to a stop with Wilwood brakes. The interior is all aluminum and the dash was hand formed to host the Autometer gauges and Lowrance GPS. Engine modifications are a work in progress but I will be the first to leak the news that we have a 480 hp Titan ready to jump out of our shop.

Titan trucks in the past have not had as many aftermarket kits and parts available as the other brands in its class, especially for full race applications. Necessity is the mother of invention so expect to see some “Titan Only” high performance parts being made available by Precision Off Road Engineering this spring and summer. Take a look at the one piece fiberglass hood. POE built the plug and mold for the Titan one piece hood and copies of it will be available this spring as well.

That’s enough of the verbal description. Trust that I will be back with more details and updates about the POE Titan in the coming posts. Until I flog my blog again on this subject, here are the pictures I promised.
