3rd Gen Quicksand thread

That's allot of quick sand! You guys get a group deal!?

 

I think it looks pretty good. I did just about every thing the same on my truck except I got the 16" Methods and the 265/75/16 Ko2s I'm still toying with the idea of the AAL as my truck has a slight reverse rake.

 

Nice rig! What size lift, wheels, and tires?

 

What brand and model canopy? Truck looks great.

 

Here's an update pic of my Taliban Tan

 

Four months, 2600 miles, about $7k spent, and a long weekend of wrenching. Before / after!










Now just need to get the Gen1 up for sale so I can pay for all these goodies.

 

awesome rig!

Thanks man! I appreciate the kind words! On the truck I have a Fab Tech 6in lift with FOX 2.0 coilovers with front and rear external reservoirs. The wheels are a 18x9 Volk TE37. The rubbers are 35s toyo open country MT.

 

wow man , just awesome that truck even makes the trees and scenery look great

 

Thanks man

 

Wekfest accepts Toyota trucks.. let's enter!

What did you use to color the letters on the grill and black out the headlight ambers?

 

This is my baby! I love her I'll add more pics when I can of her from the side and all lit up with the red leds at night. Let me know what y'all think! Only had her for 3 weeks now and working on more mods as we speak.

 

Okay, hate the chrome bumper caps, and was considering rattle canning them to match body color. The blacked out bumper has me seriously rethinking this though. Like.

BTW, always prefer to do the work myself. It's a serious PITA, but at least I know it was done right (have you seen some of the hatchet jobs done by "professional shops" lately? Going to pay $1k to have someone put on a set of $3k Kings and bugger them the hell up and make them look like some teenager was cut loose under a shade tree in the back yard with a pair of channel locks and vice grips? Enough said). And if it wasn't, I have a pretty damn good idea on where to look if something goes wrong.

There just is no substitute for the satisfaction of doing it yourself, and also experience gained and knowing how to wrench on the thing "on the fly" if something goes wrong out in the sticks is far more valuable to me than the time I'd save by having someone else do it for me.

 

I installed an ARB front bumper this weekend but not a winch yet. I've got two sitting in the shop but neither will fit this application.
Installed the 255/85-16's BFG Mud Terrains on steelies a month ago and I'm really liking them. I'm debating what to do next. . . .

I don't even have a quicksand truck, but still I come visit this thread because you guys got great ideas and do it the right way! nice Tacos!

 

Do you have a lift at all?

 

Found my Tacoma World twin brother ... other than 16s instead of 17s ... been wondering what that bumper would look like on my truck ... nice rig! Cheers!
