I BOUGHT A Disaster Recovery Nissan Titan *HOW BAD IS IT?*

We've decided to tow the LS swapped Rolls Royce to Houston, I'd love to drive it but we don't want to break it on the way there. You've gotta have a truck to pull a trailer so I went and bought the first cheap Titan that popped up. I paid $2,500 for this 2005 Nissan Titan LE, powered by the Nissan 5.6L V8 that I love. The truck used to be owned by NCRI so it's probably been working hard all for quite a few years. It's already straight piped and tuned but there are a lot of other issues to work out.

Fix that roof rust before window replacement becomes a major issue...

[@AaronSmith-kr5yf]

Yup, it will start to leak water there before you know it because the metal now has a hole in it.

Pretty much the reason I pressed on the video😂

Finally a truck for you to haul stuff....and with a nice rumble I might add (eventhough the exhaust was cut).

[@ChristianN-]

Why isn't this channel more popular? It's right up there with the best of them in content, style and production value. Great stuff, looking forward to the next video already 👍🏻

[@ioanekoroivuki543]

Love my Titan! I dragged my ‘08 XE King Cab Flex Fuel out of a salvage yard 2 years ago, and fixed it up and made it super nice! Love to see one of my favorite youtubers getting the same thing I do!

[@CharltonLatchford]

Thank God you are back to refurbishing cars and trucks. I'm getting fed up with your infantile bastardisation of a iconic classic car, the Rolls Royce. What you are doing here is admirable and a credit to you. What you are doing to the Rolls is criminal.

[@aaron71]

Love how you fix all the little things and detail all your vehicles. And your local detailing show is awesome! Nothing like that around here.

[@MarksKicksOnRoute66]

JR as far as all the big car youtubers I really like you. You come across as such a nice and down to earth guy. It's a plus that you actually know about what your talking about and demonstrate it. Keep up the awesome work.

[@Mattypeeperz]

Excellent choice. I had a 14 and an 04. The 04 was a crew cab LE 4x4 with every Stillen part also. The OG Titans are beasts.

[@hyperbluewrx]

Never had catalytic converters issues on our ‘05 armada so I like this choice! Love the SUV

Chris W Want to know what’s not a truck. A Honda Ridgeline.

[@fordtechchris]

@@nukekhang1740 seriously. Nissan is way father up on the hierarchy of trucks. Lol. I think Ridgeline is at the bottom..

[@nukekhang1740]

Chris W where would you place it at? After the three American trucks? Or place it before or after the Tundra?

[@fordtechchris]

@@nukekhang1740 good question. I'm only knowledge of the super duty being #1. #2 is anyone's guess. But Nissan is be a light truck, so actual size capacities come in to factor. Lesson being, buy a super duty or buy something lesser... Lol

[@g_force3857]

Chris W just because they sell a lot certainly doesn’t make it the best.... Big Mac is the biggest selling burger... see my point 👍👍👍 never own a ford diesel!, remember the 6.0..... 😁😁😁

@@CarswithNash a lot of newer cars come with them if they don't have blind spot monitor

[@stevenreynolds2327]

yeah, I thought that was super stupid

[@Bicketybam68]

So do your side mirrors if you adjust them correctly, there should be no need for those convex blind spot mirrors then. Why do people feel the need to fill up half the mirror with the side of their vehicle and open up a hole that they can't see?

Yeah I agree ,my uncle has a red 05 Titan 5.6 and I just barely beat him in every drag with my 2009 Hyundai sonata 3.3 v6 249 HP! He gets pretty mad at me, he can't believe my tin Hyundai out drags him 0 to 60 in 6.4 sec and I ran a 14.89 @ 97.5 mph he ran a 15.1 @ 94 mph! He paid 30k and I paid 500 bucks for my beater Hyundai sonata

[@MrTimdtoolman1]

I have been looking for a truck like this to have as a backup vehicle. I always liked this body Nissan PU and still do for that matter. A great buy with that one JR, good job Brother.

I started following you to watch the z28 build, I have a 2001 ws6. Then I seen this, and I have a 2006 titan the paint was fading on top so I repainted it with Toyota cement gray and I’ve had a loudmouth 1 exhaust on it sounds awesome plenty of power and I agree reliable engine!

I love these trucks we need more videos i have an armada and ive done all kinds of service to it from filters to spark plugs and all the oils its got all i need is to replace the exhaust manifold and im good!

I have a beater armada! 2005 with 207k and cracked exhaust manifolds! Woohoo. Sounds like a dump truck but will still haul butt. Gotta get some long headers soon!

[@JohnLT999]

That truck is just amazing..

[@mds2465]

Nice find for $2500. The only things to look out for on those which I’m sure the Wizard will tell you as well is the catalytic converters that go bad, those are an engine killer on those things, and the automatic transmissions. I would definitely recommend that you inspect both of those items for wear. Probably a good idea to do a ATF drain & fill for safe measures. But other than that it’s a pretty good truck. Should be great for hauling around all those hoopties you have.

[@tworodsdownunder]

Welcome back Gabe!

[@3800scgp]

Just a heads up for ratcheting in tight spots... get yourself a Stanley "Rotator Ratchet" or similar. The handle twists as well to turn the drive- can't put a lot of torque on anything, but good for finger tight work in tight spots.

Nice pickup!

JR Love the truck they a big our roads are to small in the uk for ur trucks you could wet and dry your hood then buff it up with some rubbing compound I am sure it would shift these marks mate and shine up again Phil in the uk

Good Buy on the Truck. Get some bigger tires to match the straight pipe.

I part out the same Titan few months ago and I keep plenty of parts from it. All the modules and computers, dash, air bags, and more. Just let me know if you need something. FYI body parts and interiors are gone to the scrap yard.

If I buy a V8, I want to hear a V8 ( my opinion). Not a muted one like some of the new trucks.

I wonder if you got it so cheap because whoever had it thought it really had no oil pressure? Good to see Gabe has come out of hibernation.

If it has the towing package like my titan, it tows really well just towed my 23 foot camper to the keys almost 2thousand miles round trip from n.c . It's a beast . Not to mention I use it for my landscape tree business . So far so good 2005 nissan titan king cab . Real reliable .Camper weighs 4100 dry weight but we had kayaks bikes and gear, food packed so about 4500 pounds in case someone was wondering .
