    MGM all day and twice on a Sunday.

    Saw both in person and the flake on the MGM just makes quicksand look plain and dull. My kid calls it Gun Metal grey. What ever it just looks sweet in all angles of sunlight.

    And I agree with others when just freshly detailed nothing beats MGM. Has a very cool sinister look to it.

    I really like this look. What size KO2's are you running and what lift?

    An unusually high amount of pinstriping.
    It' simple. Just get the MGM and when you want the Quicksand look, take it up and get it dirty. That's what I do.

    MGM looks clean and shiny. But that's not really my personality. And I thought about white, as my last Taco was white and loved how it looked. And I'm glad the LB OR didn't come in Cement because I'd be a bit torn. But i'm super stoked on QSand. I'm always catching myself just staring at my truck. And doing the lookback after parking. Ask yourself which color will make you do the lookback and there's your answer.

    MGM makes me look back. I don't want to have to decide if my truck is dirty or not.

    I'm a little biased because I'm so tired of these plain colors, but I wouldn't do either.

    BBP or Inferno are the only two I'd consider.

    Definitely Quicksand. But if I didn't have the option of Quicksand, MGM would probably have been my choice.

    MGM if you like polishing your truck to a nice shine and driving a pretty truck.

    Quicksand if you're a lazy bastard like me and have a pretty truck even after you haven't washed it in 10 weeks.

    Even after a rain it still looks good.downloadfile-1.jpg downloadfile.jpg

    I debated a different color for a short while, the BBP Blue being the other color.

    Here's what you're really asking OP.

    (OP, and everyone who is debating QS as a color) - "MGM is safe, and looks good. Quicksand might get old after a while but it looks awesome right now."

    My wife picked MGM for her 4Runner cause it does look good, but she's conservative (still looks good though). I picked Quicksand because I don't care what you think, I think it looks awesome.

    Still looks awesome, even when the trucks get older.

    I agree @jsinnard completely. It's what pushed me over the edge of getting it because I still love the look of those vehicles, so I figured while some might think it would get old, it's held up very well over the years.

    Still enjoy looking at it every day.

    Quicksand all the way! I couldn't decided either, but it's hard to match MGM if something happens. Also I'm getting a camper so doubt they can do a perfect match. So quicksand is the way to go.
