2006 Nissan Titan Travel Engine View
The addition of a Volant air intake system and air filter is a great asset when your truck spends the amount of time in the dirt as this one does. The 5.6L V-8 engine provides plenty of power at this point according to Gary, but he does foresee a supercharger in the future.

2006 Nissan Titan Travel Ncd Rear Bumper
A custom rear bumper was fabricated by NCD in order to hold a full-size spare safely while roaming throughout the Southern California deserts. Knowing that Gary would need to regulate the amount of air in his tires depending on the terrain challenges, he added a 5-gallon Power Tank air tank to the bed of his truck for quick and easy access.

2006 Nissan Titan Travel Long Travel Suspension
The first major undertaking for the new ride was to come up with a long-travel suspension system that was going to add off-road performance, gain ground clearance for larger tires, and provide as little lift as possible, combined with the ability to run a 37-inch tire. The kit lifted the truck approximately 5 inches with a new wheel-travel number of 16 inches. Are you wondering why you haven't seen many long-travel Nissan Titans running around? That's because this is one of the only ones as the NCD kit was the first of its kind. Also added to this front end was a custom bumper/light bar with Hella Rally 4000 off-road lights to keep the nighttime vision friendly.

2006 Nissan Titan Travel Under The Rear
Under the rear of the Titan is a set of King 10x2.5-inch piggyback reservoir shocks and a Deaver Spring 10-pack leaf-spring setup. The combination of these two really helps Gary when traveling through the dunes of Glamis. For a little extra rumble and horsepower, he added a SuperTrapp exhaust system.
