3rd Gen Quicksand thread

Went on a little adventure today thru a wildlife refuge. Was able to get some good pictures but also found 4 ticks on me afterwards

 

Are these SCS rims? They look like the SR8 with matte black bronze but their website only shows that model with spokes. Any other photos showing the bronze? Thanks!

 

They are SCS Ray10. A new model that just came out.

 

tire size?

 

265/70/17 Cooper STT Pro's

 

That's a great looking wheel! Are they the matte dark bronze? How do you like the bronze with the quicksand?

Great looking sagebrush..

 

Hey Guys,

My name is Nader and I'm brand new to this forum ... Just signed up for a new Tacoma TRD Offroad in quicksand color and I can't wait to drive it. I came across this thread while searching for techniques to spray paint or replace the chrome grill and sure enough many of you have already done that =) The problem is that there are 71 pages on this thread and I was hoping someone could tell me where to begin !!! It's kind of let down that Toyota doesn't color match the grills or at least leave them black on the TRD off-road trim. Coming from a Jeep wrangler, never thought any other manufacturer can cut costs like Chrysler LOL

This is the coolest NEW truck out there and brought back a lot of nostalgia when I first saw it on dealer's lot so I had to have it !

 

Just added new rims and tires and a 3" lift. Plasti dipped the grille and Tacoma logos.

 

Im that guy too. looks great.

 

Nice truck. Just curious, you have an Off Road with a chrome rear bumper?

Cheers...

 

The TRDs that don't have the Technology Package come with chrome rear bumper end caps, which sucks in my opinion. I had mine replaced with the black ones that come on the SRs.

 

How much did the dealer gouge you for those? Do you have a part number?

 

It was $180 for both of the end caps from a dealer on ebay, and the $75 to have them installed at my local dealer. Upon further review I probably could've swapped them myself, but I was too worried about breaking a clip that was holding them on.

I got them here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/272230563333

The PN's 52155-04010 and 52156-04010. Can't remember which one was right side vs left side though.

 

Awesome thank you. Do they need to be painted or does the black they come in match the fender flares?

 

Pretty sure the are exactly the same as the flares. Mine look a smidge different, but my flares are kinda dirty and the end caps are still new.

 

Nader - The cool thing about Tacoma's and Jeeps for that matter is that each one of us can customize or not the look we like. For my taste I really like the chrome grill on my Off Road as well as the chrome letters in the name. I also like the stock wheels. I have the off road with the technology package.

 

Wonder how the chrome end caps would look on mine. Still have them?
