3rd Gen Quicksand thread

I wish I would of got the MT after hearing all of the complaints about the automatic tranny. Good luck with your new taco and hope you enjoy it. Keep us informed on how you like the manual transmission.

 

Thanks. I'll update here when the deal is done and the keys are mine.

I was on the fence with the MT, but hearing complaints about the auto seems to have pushed me over. That and the fact that I want my 3 kids to learn to drive manual when the time comes.

 

I installed my bronze TRD skid plate last night. Got a chance to take a couple fast pics earlier today while I was at the gas station

 

My Taco came in today! Going to pick it up tomorrow!

 

Awesome, you gonna love it,
Toyota did amazing job on those trucks

 

Good looking rig man both of em! what part of the mountains did you explore? I live just in the foothills so I'm up the mountains about every weekend.only a 10min drive to the top of the hill. defiantly hit me up the next time your up this way if your up for some fire roads and maybe a little fishing and camping I know a few spots. hopefully should have a RTT mounted within the next month or so.

 

I've had it for 16 days now.

Love it. Except for that chrome grill. What were they thinking?!

 

Definitely will next time I'm there. I'm not to far away live right off 321 near 40! I'll be up there tomorrow but only visiting to pick up a Christmas tree. We were exploring the hurricane creek/ max patch area that day. A lot of forestry roads around those parts.

 

Yup...I don't get the grill either. The Pro grills are LEGIT, but expensive.

 

Ooo man yer not far at all then im just in lenoir so not far from you at all. And yea im not sure how these wild fires have played a part on some of the places i go but I definitely wanna find out and survey the damage soon..hopefully get some wheels and agressive ATs or MTs mounted in a week or so..ever explored the fire roads around wilson creek that lead up under the viaduct? Pretty good drive great fishing and some awesome camp sites out that way..

 

Nice I'm in Lenoir a lot! Richland rd is always a fun trail. Only done been thru it twice but always a good time. I haven't explored wilsons creek. I've seen a little info on it but not much. Is it pretty nice around there. I tend to favor fire/ forestry roads over off-road rocky trails. Would love to find some nice fishing spots not to far away.

 

Oo yea richlands is a great spot with plenty of trails but its a little rough and i dont plan to take my new truck through it anytime soon haha. Im with you man foresty and fire roads is my favorite thing. Need to go to wilsons for sure maybe a few weeks out we can get together and make a day trip up through wilsons and hit the fire road that comes out on the parkway. Plenty of fishing on wilsons though thats for sure! Just dont try going up there in the summer months it stays packed out.

 

Agreed richland is pretty rough. I have a few new pinstripes on the truck from Richland but nothing that won't buff out! Im definitely interested in checking out wilsons. Let me what weekend works for you! I believe I saw you ordered the prinsu rack? Ordered mine during the group buy! Should be here in a week or two. I'll need a reason to test it out soon!!!

 

Added a few pro bits. 6112/5160 should be here soon.

 

Will do man ill be out of town this weekend gotta go see family in VA may be closer to Christmas before i get a free weekend. But yea i did order the rack cant wait for it to get here! Pretty funny everything i orderd wasnt even on a black Friday sale or anything...but my main goal over the next couple weeks is to find some wheels and tires...hopefully the place will buy my stock ones for a decent penny

 

Here are a couple pics from this weekend with the new RTT, which matches the truck almost perfectly. These are all taken in Moab, Utah.

 

Who was it that has the ARB intensity lights behind their mesh grille?

 

Great pictures.

 

Here is mine with a Toytec Boss 2.5.

 

Thank you.
