....besides trade it in for a 2003 bmw m3 csl.

i would:-diesel engine swap from the nissan pickups in europe-get the nicest 18 inchers with med profiles-stick them out 1 inch from fenders-new paint...gunmetal grey-brembo cross drilled rotors/pads all around (yep remove drum brakes in rear)-2001 qx4 conversion up front, w/OEM HID's-OEM nissan touchscreen nav unit/pioneer-figure out a sweet way to install rockford fosgate amps and 2 12inchers somewhere in the back-electronic rustproofing-the best sounding exhaust money can buy-turbo...?-get a better suspension with a lower profile-fix my damn window trim

then i would have the ultimate urban assault vehicle for the city.

im sure i forgot some things, but you guys get the idea.

You've got the urban down but you're missing a few of criticals for the assault part:

+ skid plate the entire underside+ some form of blowout resistant / air less tire (does this exist?)+ bulletproofing+ .50 cal for the moonroof

lol clearly my haters arent as serious as yours. i considered bulletproofness..but the weight would ruin the performance and gas mileage....btw with unltd money id get a $12000 gift card for premium shell v power gas. Which would last me...a year. LOL

^ what he said, except a fully built, blown Ford 302. It'd fit better than than the 4.3L with MO POWA.

That and I' swiss cheese the unibody and weld in structural supports for 1000 lbs. weight reduction.

-pimp the interior with those stupid flatscreens in all the headrests and put in a humungous audio system in it-get one of those 6" hybrid lifts I've seen a few times with 33"s riding on beadlocked MT's-ABD's safari bumper-safari roof rack-put a lot of lights on both the roof rack and the safari bumper such that i may blind people for no apparent reason at all-If we're going rediculous with the engine, I might as well go with a 505hp 7.0L out of a Z06 vette. Open exhaust. -black with flames paintjob and a giant cowl induction hood.

Well, it would only LOOK like a QX4 when it was done.

POWERTRAIN:- Add a supercharger.- Upgrade cooling system.- Replace the trans with a 6-speed auto with auxillary cooling system.- Install ARB air locker differentials. May have to replace the axles for this.- Towing package.

SUSPENSION:- Upgrade to 33" tires.- Install the minimum lift required to clear new tires and provide flex.- Upgrade shocks and springs to allow for some nice rock-crawling action.

INTERIOR:I would just go wicked crazy here. I'd gut the interior and start from scratch.- Install the trick memory system from Lexus that remembers two drivers' settings for power mirrors, seats, and steering wheel based on which key fob you have in your pocket. When you open the door, everything backs up so you can get in easily and then moves into your saved positions as soon as you close the door.- Power folding rear seats.- Power rear hatch like the new minivans.- Rear sun roof.- Top of the line super-slick-can't-see-it-but-it-will-make-you-sterile-sound/nav system.

EXTERIOR:- New paint job. Similar color, but a litle more gray with a slick pearl that goes from a white to almost black depending on angle. Saw it at a car show. It was awesome.- Thule rack with every option available.- Front, side, and rear flood lights.- Skid plates.- Replace running boards with rock guards.

I'm sure there's more, but there is a fire on the news burning a neighborhood near my house so I've gotta go right now. Later.

F*ck it then. I'd drop in a Caterpillar diesel engine out of a freightliner and slap in front and rear locking diffs and then you could watch me burn out all four tires at once!

I'm not even going to use locking diffs. I'm just going to put blown keith black hemis from a couple of funny cars, one driving the front wheels, and one driving the back wheels. I'm also going to employ four wheel steering. And the truck will actually just be a tubular frame with a fiberglass body. And it has machine guns that rotate, and are controlled by my nav screen. The truck shifts with a lenco transmission. And the paint has pheremones mixed in so it attracts women to it just by driving by. It's also undetectable by radar. And my favorite: it comes with a parking pass that lets me park anywhere without getting a ticket.

and a disco ball? And one of those round, rotating beds instead of a back seat. And a mini-fridge.

I read the next gen Titan is going to be a joint venture between Dodge and Nissan, and that it'll mostly be a Ram.

First I would pay it off. Then I woudlnt do anything to it except replace the o2 sensors and get the ecm upgraded and then just tint windows, general uhp,and if i could figure out the radio thing get one out of a r51 bose,trailer hitch,and a brush gaurd and yakima basked and a HID conversion with projectors. However i would buy a r51 and hook it up but we cant go on forever. I work at nissan and the pathfinder is my nissan suv/truck of choice because of the size being perfect for me and avalability options. Its not because I own one I just like them better
