3rd Gen Quicksand thread

Here's my stockie QS rig
What was the first thing you guys did as a MOD? My mechanic friend is trying to talk me into an air intake, and or cat-back exhaust

 

Congrats!

"Mods" I've done: (yes, quotations on purpose)

- OCD vehicle center console organizer
- trash can that fits around the head rest
- magnet phone holders on dash. One for me and one for passenger

- Delete TRD decals.
- Delete rear badging
- Derp Tacoma side badges black.
- Derp front grille & surround
- Derp and then color match front emblem

- Leer canopy with yakima roof rack (would have just gotten the rails and put a prinsu rack on if I had known better)
- Prinsu Cabrack
- Caliraised sliders
- Made brackets for my pelican case mount to the cab rack (kind of involved)
- Made brackets for my maxtrax (this was easy)
- caps for the bed cubbies to prevent dust & water infiltration
- rear diff breather mod

 

Lot of money for little return....

 

Depends on what you plan doing with your truck. Mine is mostly a daily driver and family hauler, although I do a lot of DIY home projects and a lot of fishing with my canoe and kayak. My favorite mod was Wet Okole seat covers. They hold up super well and protect the factory cloth seats, but they also make the seats much more comfortable. I also have console organizers, Husky floor mats and rock sliders.

 

Yes it does.

 

That's exactly what I was thinking... His retort "but it will sound sweet" lol

 

Looks amazing. How do you like the beaver step tail hitch?

 

Thanks.

It's good. there was a competing product that had some texture to it but i've never had issues with mine. Nobody gets close up to me either.

 

how much would that retro vinyl job cost a regular joe without a youtube channel?

 

Stick to your tonneau? Do you not mean the tailgate? If so, there is no factory stickers that I'm aware of????

If your talking tonneau cover, can you show a pic? I'm very curious....

 

Anyone can have a YouTube channel.

But to answer your question it depends on your market and materials. I don't think it would be outrageous vs a full wrap.

 

Haha. I know. You’re is great. Just didn’t know if you got it at no cost or discount because you posted about them etc. was just wondering what cost would be if I went in and straight copied you. Super original. I know. I just don’t have that gene that would help me pick out how to do this right.

 

apologies here, I didn't explain well there. The factory tonneau has "tacoma" imprinted on it no decal or anything. My plan is buying a generic tonneau and sticking some letters on it. A guy on here makes the dash letters in raised quicksand, buying those as soon as get through my week long battle with paypal.

The bilsteins are all the way up in the front but I think it sits too high. I am considering dropping the fronts down one notch, opinions?

 

Taco Troopers sells pre-cut retro vinyl stripe kits for the 3rd Generation Tacoma. Here is the link to the company website: https://www.tacotroopers.com/

 

Thanks! I actually bought the black bumper caps. I pulled my Toyota emblems off and painted them but with all the gravel roads I started to notice chips after only a month. I figured the bumper caps would catch alot more so thats why I went that route.

 

Hey guys.. Just took ownership

 

Actually an Eagle.

 

Nice bed bar!

 

Totally agree. I LOVE it. That is the only reason why I am still considering buying a new tacoma, even though I totally don't NEED it. My 1st generation tacoma is in perfect condition, and even looks new still, inside and out. BUT, I keep looking at the new Tacoma in quicksand color, and it blows me away, especially when I consider to me, what would be imperative that I do to customize it a little, which is, put on the blackout kit, which means to put on the aftermarket kits that black out the chrome Tacoma and SR5 logos. In addition, I would switch out the grill, to get rid of the chrome ring around the grill, and also put on black wheels, as well as mudflaps and totally black side running boards. So yeah, I keep imagining that, and I have to grab a tissue because of how much I am salivating at the thought!
