MESO CUSTOMS Quicksand Build thread

What about California smog crap laws.

 

Just let me know! I'm just north of the capitol

Thanks !! This is my canvas and I just recreate the visions I have in my head

Ask and ye shall receive!

So the rear amber S2's were kind of an afterthought. I was originally planning on having them clear for work lights, but I already have the rear bumper S2's(pros) and the cargo light for aux lighting.
So I ended up putting the amber lens on and running them off their own button.
now they are used as "chase lights" and stay on when I'm off-roading for visibility to people behind me. Also, I will be wiring in a flasher to them(and the fronts) for auxiliary safety flashers/hazards.

MERICA!!!
And can't beat good ol' DIY elbow grease

It's all about who ya know

 

Do those locks rattle during non-off road driving?

 

You should make those rear amber S2's flash/strobe like working truck lights do

 

This build is special... So much detail that it takes many views of the pics to see everything, and I know I am still just scratching the surface. Hopefully have my turd gen soon. #inspired

 

@mesojdm Your truck looks awsome man! I am in process of switching to 35's as we speak. I was wondering if you were able to re-use that plastic liner inside the wheel well? If not, what did you come up with to keep it clean?

 

Can we get some photos of the interior if you did anything in there.

 

"IF"

 

I'd like more info on the camo wrap on the inside. Looks nice

 

After the front fenders were cut, there was no way to affix the liner back. So currently I am not using anything. Off-roading kind of makes a mess in there so I'm thinking of cutting my own rubber mats and fitting them in. One reason why I went with the snorkel.

I'll get some pics, but Not much Interior mods. Black camo wrapped dash/console, Hondo knobs, custom overhead console, billet interior rack, husky mats, and some other little bits.

 

If I won the Lotto
This is the truck I'd build. With a V8

 

Later down the road that's my plan. need some others to take the plunge first lol

 

Even a V8 swap with all the Smog shit on it would be ok.
Maybe a Tundra motor.

Alot of my coworker that are deployable have nice trucks. I'm trying to get into that position.

 

Thanks! That is what I am worried about. If you do Come up with something please keep us posted. Appreciate the help!

 

Hey @mesojdm,
I saw some Coverking seat covers that would look Bad Ass in there and go with that black camo. Here:

I am really liking how these have a sort of snake skin type pattern. I think for a factory pattern, my Demonic theme would benefit too.

 

Honestly this is a badass, sick looking, amazingly done truck! HOWEVER there is one thing I'm not digging and it doesn't seem to look right and that's the flags on the doors. I love the concept of the flags but I think they need to look tattered or more of a milspec style to them. The white and black just isn't doing it and kinda offsets the truck.

 

You really got my hopes up. I saw the snorkel and then scoured the internet for one that is not the awful looking ARB Safari, only to discover it is a custom part lol.

 

Where would one get this flag?

 

^^^^^ This!! Where?

 

U can find them on Amazon or EBay and at several military stores and military surplus stores. With @mesojdm beimg as crafty as he is, he could CNC one or custom order one from a vinyl shop or even design one. Tattered or battle worn, faded flags are not hard to find
