are you trying to get that paintjob? or the body drop?

i doubt you'll be able to pull off the body drop, because the chassis wont fit up into the body high enough... even if it did, you realise you wouldnt be able to drive it but maby in a straight line if u were lucky.

as for the painting, its really good air brush skills, more than likely freehand, no masking or anything. so i hope your good with it!

As for the paint i have no idea. Bondo will know.

for the suspension drop. You need the truck suspension and custom drop upgrade and this tut

if you want the body that low then youll have to drop it on a car chassis.

the paint isnt really a problem if you know how to layer it.flames like that are pretty easy over black.
it's just layers of white and kandy blue.
if your better with a brush then you might want to brush in the white and use the kandy blue through an airbrush.
the only problem is your flames will have sharper edges.

if your looking for how to do the paint then let me know and i can give you a quick walkthrough.

Actually dark spr is right the titan body can't be dropped all the way like a f150 can. As bondo said I would use an extended car chassis

SPR, Darkendblades didnt prove you wrong, the F150 is a LOT easier to drop than the titan. in order to drop a tian like that with the stock body kit you would need the body kit just for the tonneu cover and the roll pan, and maybe the billet grilles for the front as well for more of a custom look. then the whole bed would have to be cut out, probably by dremmel, and the tonneu cover would most likely have to be glued on or something. then of course a major body drop would need to take place, and a chassis drop with car tires over the slammed rims wouldnt hurt either.

BTW guys, that truck has a dual personality

Aww, why don't you just shut up and get lost! Anyways. I tried lowering my titan on a truck chassis, it didnt work too well. So now my titan is lifted, and my F150 is lowered. I like the looks of that titan. Josh, try fitting it to a car chassis or shaving part of the front clip off to lower the front, then shave down part of the rear mounting post or remove it to lower the rear. Also if you can get one, get a truck drop kit.

Also if you want it that low and if you will be using the slammed rims, strech car tires over the rims you will get a little more clearence under the fender. Dremeling the inside of the fender a little bit too will help.

That's my slammed titan, nice stance and still fully functional. I just clip the body into the slot above the stock mount on the body and then shaved the rear body mount to the height I wanted in the rear. Also had to shave some stuff on the bottom side of the truck bed to get it to fit.

Nice truck EDJ! I like the red on black rims, they really match the truck, and the red lugs are awesome! Have you tried shaving your front clip down, I did it on my G35, heres a pic.

if i had a titan body kit i would have already tried this, and probably succeeded haha, but i'm not sure, because the titan body seems to be shorter than the f150 from the top of the bed down, which would make it really difficult to drop it that low.
