Hey all...well, due to a recent separation and pending divorce, I had to downsize...a lot. I previously had an 06 Nissan 350Z roadster, and had to ditch the impractical for the practical. Went out and bought a stripped down 08 King Cab SE automatic. I tow my jetski with it, and it is currently bone stock; roll down windows and no frills. The 4.0 is amazing- I was really impressed with it when I test drove it- and it actually reminds me of the Z with how smooth it is. VQ FTW!

Since I plan on being in the sand a lot, and I just want it to be a good all-around looker and tower, I am looking at just some simple appearance mods- getting the windows tinted first, going to get a 2" tow setup, and a bed cover. I am looking for a reasonably priced hard cover- I know it's probably hard to find, but I don't want a soft tonneau....might have to bite the bullet, unless someone here has a place they can point me to. Eventually I plan on getting some larger sized rims and tires. Most of my pickup projects have been lowering jobs (old hardbody and an F150), but I am thinking of keeping this one either stock height or a lift to accomodate some larger sized rubber. If anyone has pics of a stock height with larger wheels or a moderate lift with same, I'd be appreciative. I was a regular on the Z forums, and I hope to be the same here as well.

Welcome to the group.

Please Note! Your over sized pictures have exceeded out 'wide posts rule. These pictures take a long time to load for people on dial-up and cause the need to scroll horzonally to read aor/and see.

 640x480pixels is a nice size.

I will be deleting them in the future!

Good luck in the sand box.
