Here is Why This Lifted Nissan 4x4 Van Costs $83,000! 

So, I have looked into this option and there are a couple directions to go if anyone wants to tackle this themselves. 1. Buy a used transfer case, driveshafts, front diff, axles shafts and knuckles with bearings from a used Titan XD. Pull the rear axles shafts form the rear diff and replace with XD shafts. Re-rear rear diff while your in there. Might need a custom length drive shaft in the rear. Front should line up. 2. Do most of #1 except update front hubs to a 2006 GMC 2500HD. Machine your knuckles .8 mm in diameter. but 33 spline output shaft to 6 bolt inner axle plates to go into the titan XD front diff and mate that to 2500 HD half shafts. The GMC bearing do not have the same set back so you will need spacers, about 5/8". I think 1/2" is enough and easily available.

I don’t understand Nissan because they build great value vehicles they do some incredible work they stick there toe into a certain area then they pull it back then act scared. Nissan go all in this van could easily have a diesel option and a longer wheel base version as well. The titan is a perfect testimony to what I am talking about back in 08-09 Nissan put on there big pants and beat Toyota to market with a crew cab with a long bed. Also I need to remind you when the first gen titan was introduced it shocked the truck segment. Ford Gm and Ram was really afraid. Toyota was in the back with their tundra crying. The new generation titan has so much more potential than what Nissan is doing. I have a Nissan Frontier and it’s going strong Nissan Corp. If you get a chance to read this please please take the time to listen to your customers take the time you have so much more potential.

I would definitely consider this rig. Thanks for content.

Another awesome truck! Love it! My buddy does van makeovers and currently has TWO - Ford 350 longbed Diesel vans with 4x4 and 6" lift kits. For sale in Silt, CO right now. what a set-up!

Now that’s a VAN! Soccer Dad’s now have a van to be proud of driving 😉. Thanks...

I don’t understand why vans like the Chevy express and Ford E Series vans don’t come standard 4x4. They are utilitarian vehicles based on truck platforms and most trucks come in 4x4.

Just once I want to see a dealer list the "Schmutz Package," just to see who notices! :D Nice review.

Like you said nathan take some of the fancy options off to save some bucks and you have a badass shtf offroad van!!

I got one last month, love it, Give Jackson a call at Ken Garff

Cool overland vehicle. Would love to own that.

That's my kind of van! You should review what Quigley conversions offer.

That is pretty darn cool

Personally I think the cargo is the way to go. That way you can put a bed in back.

Anymore updates with this Setup? Would love a Full review Towing, overlanding, mpg, ETC

This van is awesome! I would love to trade my 2015 on this. Just the lift and big tires. Please

it would be nicer with the diesel engine just like the mercedes sprinter which is still the best van for me i think

Hi Nathan. When you’re using the word schmutz it sounds like you mean “stuff” but the german verb schmutzig means dirty or grimy. lt’s also a yiddish expression like “Change your shirt it has some schmutz on it”. I’m a subscriber to all the TFL channels and enjoy the work you and the other guys do. I’m not trying to be a Putz but just wanted to point this out. And remember that Power Wagon don’t care if it gets covered in schmutz.

Does that roof top tent sleep 8? I don't think so. Thus, the arrangement shown makes little sense. But, the good news with vans is, that if you start with a cargo, the options are basically endless. It's always good to see more 4x4 van options, but any option that involves buying a van, and tearing out a bunch of parts you just paid for, usually does not result in a great value. It would have been nice if the NV had a Titan front end from the factory, right from their introduction, many years ago.

MORE!

Can you get this with the v6 NV that's available? For a bit better mpg.

Awesome 👍🏾

I like to see a nv cargo van high roof with a converted right hand drive for rural mail carry, shelves and a rv tiolet.

limited slip or lockers on these diffs?

That is so dope

Very interesting. Are there plans to offer it as a chassis cab? I would love to see an off road oriented RV based on this platform.

I find the NV way more attractive than the Titan, particularly looking at the front end.

Love it

Do want the high top version in 4x4...

I have been looking for a 4x4 van. But I’m more interested in a van vs an suv video.

that's pretty cool but for that price point I'd rather have a Land Cruiser some accessories. it is great that they are offering options like that and I hope that trend catches on.

just what I had in mind

What is schmutz and is it good or bad?

I want the cargo van version

I am wondering what lift kit is on this NV? Is it just a Rough Country 6 inch for a Nissan Titan?

Красота хочу такую же👍👍👍👍👍

Not very practical or attainable for most people. Neat looking though. No link to where you can buy it or a list of mods though?

Name & conatct data for the dealer in Utah that does this conversion ? - Please !

Badass van

Thumps up for Nissan again!

I don’t care what model it is and the mods done to it, i’d never pay anything close to $83,000 for a new Nissan.

I want factory 4x4 body on frame van so bad :(

When you guys will take the Nissan Titan to MOAB?

Wish you posted a link to the Salt Lake dealership. I googulated a few Nissan dealerships, looked for a '4x4 cargo van', added Avatar to no avail...any suggestions?

I saw one of these in Kentucky for the first time and had no clue what it was. For that kind of money I'd rather have a land cruiser.

If only they were available stock with a turbo diesel engine. That'd make it the ultimate off-road van.

Van vs truck for camping?

Please, do a towing review with the stock 2wd Nissan NV3500SL. I would love to know how it does maxed out on the Ike Gauntlet.

After all that they put a Rough Country lift on it?

But why rough country :(

guys do a revel 4x4 test come on you can get one i will be cool

Love it, unfortunately it's $83k over budget for me lol #mustmakesmartfinancialdecisionsdarnit

WANT

Had me until you said “neato” tires

What dealership sells this particular van?

$83,000 for a 4x4 van w/ a rough country lift? thats laughable

The 4x4 van conversions are just so damn expensive. I wish an OEM looking for sales would just throw a transfer case in one and give an affordable option.

will they ever put a cummis diesel in it?

Aftermarket Nissan rules

The NV 3500 has 8 bolts hubs. The Titan XD has 6. Are they running 6 bolts hubs now? Or will the NV hub accept a XD axle shaft? This conversion seems straight forward except for this one little issue. I think they run 8 bolt hubs but how?

Really cool but a ridiculous price

Why do they design side steps that'll get caught on everything 🤦‍♂️

The nissan nv is basically a nissan titan, i don't get why nissan cant offer factory 4 wheel drive like they do in the titans...a base nissan titan with 4 wheel drive doesn't cost 83K so this shouldnt either

$83,000 no way rather buy a used 4runner customize it & a overland trailer.

This camera guy with the ill zoom

Yeah sign me up for a lifted cargo so I can outfit it myself, hell no it is not available here in the UK sob sob

That V8 needs more power.

83k. What. I rather go for sprinter or transit.

83k give me a break 🤨

For 83k and not diesel..? Nahhhh.

Roof tent? It's a van🤦! Get rid of all those seats...🪓🪓🪓

So basically all the money is in that weak ass lift and stock Titan parts? Sounds like a rip off for that price

Stop saying schmutz

Settle down

Another Yawwwn. From Nissan. Companies that show commitment to capture the imagination of their customers...win most of the time. If this Van was a LWB 6x6 high roof,wide track long travel, monster with a cummins V8.. and a reasonable price tag. Could have been a winner and a trend setter. Throw in a LWB 6x6 or 4x4 diesel chassis cab then everybody will be talking about how progressive the Brand is. The Next Gen Titan should follow the Direction of the titan warrior concept. But as usual nissan are too busy counting Beans.

Great content! Keep up the great work. If you have a moment go have a browse of my page 😊👍

Junk

Looks ugly af

What’s up with EVERYTHING overlanding these days? So much fancy overpriced crap. They’re basically a hotel on wheels. Pitch a tent like a man! Sorry if I offended you.

Nissan sucks at times

Plumber approved review, as rest of us need to watch this useless review
