    Seems men are 50/50 on the Quicksand but most women hate it. Added nerfbars and mud flaps so far.

    I had my mind set on a white truck for close to 4 years. Was about to order it when my wife saw one in quicksand. A few days later, she had me convinced. Mines in order now.

    My wife didn't really like it at first. I think it has grown on her.

    Nice truck Op!

    Quicksand would've been my choice too, but the black just won me over lol!

    Have fun,

    Nice! I like the look of the off-road wheels, but I'm weird like that.

    I absolutely hated Quicksand every time I've seen it in person and in pictures.

    Your truck however looks great in it! I really like it here.

    Wishing you many great years with your new Taco :)

    My wife picked out a quicksand 4Runner for herself so I guess my wife isn't most women haha. I love the color personally. Very different than any other color I've seen on the road.

    I disliked it at first, but quicksand sure did grow on me.

    I liiiike it, but I also drove tan trucks while in the Army and I've kind of had enough of that look lol ... As a civilian I can grow a big beard and drive an orange truck ... so I'm doing it!

    Having gotten that out of the way, I think the quicksand looks absolutely stellar in some of the scenic photos I've seen. There is just something right about how a tan truck looks when it's out in the wilderness with a sunset in the distance.

    Have fun, and I hope you get it out to it's natural habitat for some beautiful photos to add to my truck porn collection :cheers:

    Good wives know there are some things about men that they just won't agree with, and they accept that their man will have things that he likes and enjoys that aren't for her. That good wife will let her husband get away with these things and enjoy what he likes.

    However, a good husband knows that his wife is always right.

    Also, it helps to buy the wife her own toys, and also some toys you can share together ... I realize what I just wrote, and I'm just leaving it the way it is, so all you perverts can have a chuckle. But seriously, go buy your wife something from Tiffany's and when she sees the little blue box she'll forgive whatever color your truck is :thumbsup:
