3rd Gen Quicksand thread

Removed the badges, I like the looks

 

Pretty easy install, popped this on yesterday:

 

I wouldn’t mind having Quicksand versions of these to go with the Taco.

 

Now that’s a good looking truck...

 

Jumping in with my new quicksand Taco. 2018 TRD Off Road that I bought used from a dealership. The previous owner had done some mods (leveling kit) and removed the TRD decals but otherwise seems like it's a pretty empty canvas. Admired Tacomas from afar but very happy to actually own one now.

 

Glamour shots from a recent trip

 

Spotted this slick ride on my way home from work. Might have been a tad bit jealous.

 

I am on my third Tacoma. First was a 2wd 2005 AC TRD-OR. Boy was she a beaut. I miss that truck. Next was the 2016 AC SR5 2wd that I just traded in with 80K miles on it. She was just as clean and fit as the 2005. Dealer gave me 21K for the 2016, and it was purchased for 22.8K OTD in 2018 with 42K miles on the clock.

As of 4/12 I now have a 2017 Long bed, 4x4, Off-Road, Quicksand with 55K miles and I am liking it a lot. Pics to follow in a later post. Truck cost 32K OTD, and I pulled 9K in equity out from the 16' for a down payment.

Question: My 2005 TRD was not 4x4, but had the diff locker, and as such the diff locker was usable in, well, 2wd. On this 2017 4x4 I see that the diff locker is only for use in 4LO. Is there any way to get the diff locker to work in 2wd?

First mod I did to my Taliban Tan Tacoma was remove the LED plug-n-play headlight kit the previous owner put in, and replaced them with top of the line halogens. Truck came with a K&N Intake, Roll'N'Lock Series M bed cover, TRD pro grill, and a small ram bar on the front.

True to my OCD, I have serviced this thing top to bottom in the first week of ownership:
-Transmission Flush
-Rear diff oil change
-Front diff oil change
-Transfer case oil change
-Engine oil change (stupid ford dealership I bought this thing from put non-synthetic in it )
-Rear brake clean/adjust

There are more things on my list of to-do's for this truck, and further mods including a Fox suspension will be coming soon.

 

Anybody have touch up paint tips? Because...yeah...

 

After two years, I'm still likin it!

 

i have the same tire/wheel combo on my ‘17 quicksand sport

 

I'm jealous of those center caps! Can't find them anywhere except for some crazy priced one's on ebay.

 

Finally Stuff happening

 

Not mine... but it's not THAT bad.

 

I wonder what kind of wheels those are, and can we get a better picture of them? I'm curious.

 

Don't know much about it, I just stumbled upon it on OfferUp. Found this image on that dealer's website tho...

 

Got my wheels on!

 

They're different, that's for sure.

Pictures?

 

My bad i had crap for service. I thought i uploaded one.
