3rd Gen Quicksand thread

Land between the lakes? Kill any ducks?

 

That's the place! No hunting, just some hiking.

 

How did it tow?

 

Awesome actually, really impressed

 

That answers some of my questions I know that skid steer weighs about 3600# and the trailer looks purpose built to haul it and most likely weighs about 1200#. That is about the same as my rock crawler and trailer so I should be good.

 

whats the best tire size to put on a stock lift and rims on the or

 

265/75r16

 

Which brand tires are those bfgs?

 

Nope. Goodyear DuraTracs. They do amazing in the snow and are more aggressive than the bfgs.

 

thanks man, i live in michigan so i want to be prepared and realistically i just dont like these baby stock tires

 

Do you have a side shot of your ride?

 

I went with GY Dura Tracs in the stock size 265/70 16 in C load rating since my "Build" will be an Overlander and I need fuel economy, range and weight for other articles and may be a small trailer tow.Planning to loop the US from Seattle.

 

Finally the wait is over!

 

Yup your weight is accurate about 3.6k on the skid steer and about 1.2k on the trailer, mpg was steady at 15.1

 

Put a deposit down in this one today. Will pick it up on Thursday.

 

well I tried getting a TRD off road but even ordering best case was 3 to 4 months out they said to get one. Dealer 45 miles from me had Inferno red which it and quicksand I was good on either. They had both so I drove up Friday to look at the quick sand first time to see if I liked it and Inferno already was gone. I had seen a two wheel drive one before. So looked at the Sport off road double cab and new I liked the color in person. Came back Saturday and told my local dealer order one in trd off road. Wasn't so easy and then the 90 to 120 days came up or longer. So after thinking about it I figured sport is good and It would fit me fine even though I wanted trd off road. So dealer asked if I wanted it or not because otherwise guy from Mo was wanting to put deposit on it and come get it this Saturday because he couldn't find one either in this color. Dealer said he promised me a call so if I didn't take it he would let this guy. After looking and going through 4 dealers all saying u cant get one I decided id take it. Just got back and traded my 15 tundra crew 4x4 on it and very happy and glad I pulled the trigger. Also wanted long bed but very happy still with short bed. It has the premium packaged but not with bose and it is 4x4 off road. Also has roof rack rails. May take those off haven't decided. Ill take pics tomorrow and try to figure out how to post them if I can. it is just stock sport double cab 4x4 with the tech or premium whatever it is with sun roof and stuff but no bose stereo. I really liked driving it home 45 miles. I have lots to lean on it for it is more tech than the tundra. Thanks to all that helped. Will be lifting at some point 3 in lift and some new rims and tires. Glad to be back in small truck. I was very surprised how quite it was and how good it rides. Lots better than older model Tacoma.

 

Crappie Man - congratulations - you will love it...

 

I'm in the club. Picked up my DCSBOR Quicksand yesterday at Koons Toyota. Drove 340 miles since I picked her up. Refilled at 10.3 gallons after going 244 miles for a 23 mpg. I'll take it. This truck is quiet, smooth, solid and I absolutly love it! The color is great and getting major nods from everyone that sees it.
