GunMetalGrey Posted May 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 Since this is already a truck thread... I've been keeping an eye out for one of these for a fair bit now, they do not pop up often, and when they do it comes at a premium, but this one popped up for a great price. Introducing the new rig. 08 Titan Pro-4x Long Wheelbase! Featuring an E36 that I need to sell, and a Nic with a broken hand. But why? 4 years newer, 50k less miles, 4x4 with locking diff, 7' 3" bed, 10k lb towing capacity. It also comes with a 37 gallon fuel tank that drains you bank account every time you need to fill it! This thing is by far the largest vehicle I've ever driven. It comes in just shy of 20.5 feet long tip to tail, and the roof stands about 7 feet tall. It has been lifted 6", and I will likely rework the wheels / tires with something that fits the lift better. The extra room will be great for bike trips, as I've had to use hitch racks already on the other truck to have enough room for bikes, people, gear, and coolers. Now to wait for the next eBay sale to get some wheels and tires... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoungCR Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 My suburban has a 42gallon tank, its great being able to go 700-800miles on a roadtrip without filling up! or at least 2 weeks around town. Congrats on the new purchase. Did you sell the old truck already? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When used truck trading up, along with price range in mind, think at least 4 years newer and 50k less miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm currently looking at extended cab short bed 1st Gen duramaxes ideally 06-07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than a new Tacoma though, that much I do know! WiBimmers discount does exist on my existing Titan, crew cab. I should just make a quick ad on the for sale section here.

GunMetalGrey Posted May 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 160k mile update: Fixed broken connector on diff lock position switch, and now the locking diff functions properly. Put the under seat subwoofer from Titan V1 into Titan V2, and thanks to an aftermarket headunit that was installed in the new truck, it's a better setup all around. Installed a driveshaft spacer to push the driveshaft back into the transfer case, this is needed due to the lift. Put the sidesteps on from Titan V1 Put on my homemade headlights Installed window rain guards Fixed a sway bar end link Replaced positive battery clamp Put on some new wheels and tires Old setup (KO2's from last truck on stock wheels) Looks like it skipped leg day New setup (35x11.5 Falken Wildpeak AT3W on some 18x9 et0 wheels) It's been nicer to drive than the last one, and the driveshaft spacer helped cut down some low speed vibrations. Last tank averaged 12.1 MPG (mostly all city) on the smaller tires, so she surely likes using fuel... First bike trip with it will be soon, and I'm looking forward to that!

GunMetalGrey Posted May 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 38 minutes ago, KaiserRolls said: Yes Lol I didn't provide much detail prior, but I typically browse FB Marketplace a time or two a week for Titans. The plan was to move with the 2wd one, and eventually pick up a 4wd one once I got settled a bit. I came across this one, and it was posted for 7k. I felt like it was a scam at first, but chatted with the guy a touch and set up a time to meet him. I messaged him on Saturday and went down to check it out on Monday. Left with it for less than his asking, and I couldn't be more stoked to find a LWB Pro-4x. I think I've only seen 2 others on the Titan forums.

GunMetalGrey Posted July 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 So it's been a lot of truck stuff lately, but we're back to the BMW way of life. I enjoyed seeing Jake's car hanging around, and I am getting sick of driving a crew cab long box truck around in the Seattle area, so I was on the hunt for a new and smaller daily. So far the chassis feel is awesome, and it corners a lot better than the truck.... It's just a 128, but that seems like the move for now, reliable, good gas mileage, and overall a bit easier on the budget. Sport seats and the sport steering wheel coupled with the paddle shifters make it aight. It's got something that sounds a lot like the BMW performance exhaust on it, which sounds just fine. Cars our here are super awesome due to the lack of rust. B C, KaiserRolls, m42b32 and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suspenceful Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 Jealous of the white! Car looks clean, I like the black grilles and tinted windows. I'm surprised you got an auto, but you will still enjoy it. Reminds me of my old 328i, a fun daily driver. How long 'til you lower it on wheels and add blackline tail lights? PS: I don't think you made a public announcement of your move on FB or WIBimmers, but maybe now it's time to migrate over to WABimmers...

The auto was decided on due to traffic and my intended use for the car, but who knows, maybe I'll end up with a manual one soon. Wheels and tires are something I'm currently looking at. Arc-8's in hyperblack or hypersilver seem like the move. Backordered tho... As far as tails go I gotta figure out what to do about the all white rear bumper. Oh yeah, I moved. I live in Washington now. P_Roloff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn, looks like this thing was modded. Exhaust tips don't look stock, almost looks identical to my old Riss Racing setup. The 1 series never got dual exit exhaust, so you could just find a white 135i rear bumper to get a diffuser on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
