3rd Gen Quicksand thread

Thanx!!

 

This is with a leveling spacer on the front, just to stop the rubbing. But it's shit, I wouldn't recommend a spacer for leveling.

 

Won't knock you one bit for doing it but I learned 25 years ago not to use blocks, essentially what the spacers are. Hoping with what I save if I go the SR5 route will let me buy springs and shocks/coils and some decent tires. No offroading here, just a little mud to play in.

 

That's my plan as well down the road. Being my first Tacoma, the only complaint I have is the soft suspension.

Maybe eventually a rear locker but who are we kidding, I'll probably never need one.

Side note, I only paid $100 for the stock front bilsteins with the leveling spacer, as well as the rears so I'm not mad about it at all.

 

Snapped all three of these today. Crap weather for sure.

 

Hoping if I go the SR5 route that when I go leaf packs, coils/shocks it will have a decently stiff ride.

 

Thanks much man. I am rather stoked myself!!'

I haven't been able to drive the truck in a while because I've been busy traveling for basketball.. but today I flew home from Las Vegas and I had some free time so I was able to wash and wax the truck today... back into the garage it goes

 

First decent looking no cut bumper ive seen

 

Bumper looks good, not my style but I was wondering if you or anyone could explain this bumper. It just looks massive and looks like it takes away some ground clearance. I picture this on an F350 not a little Tacoma. I don't mean it in a rude way, I am just trying to wrap my head around the use for what looks like an over the top, heavy bumper as I see them on a few trucks on here. Cheers!

 

Well we are back home from Big Bend today. The only issues I had were the spare tire loosened up on the winch and the rear springs were too soft for the load I was carrying (+/-1000lbs of gear and 2 passengers).

Fixed both issues today. Tightened up the spare and cut down some Old Man Emu D6XL heavy leaves and made a set of 30" long add-a-leaves out of them. All issues are gone now and truck rides better than stock.

Havent seen those wheels yet. Looks good

 

Did you re-gear after the lift and tires?
The truck looks great!!!

 

Thank you! I appreciate it.
