3rd Gen Quicksand thread

A day of this



Turns everything on the truck quick sand like this


It was a good day

 

They are the bed bars from Front Runner

Yes, they work under my softopper, just have to space them right. Softopper even fits when maxtrax are mounted to them. They are BAMF sliders, non-kickout version. Thanks.

 

Got shell put on yesterday.

 

Got my Leer 100xr finally!

 

Well it took me 3 evenings after work to finish but I got my lift installed.

*3rd gen 5100 Billies up front, set at 2nd clip. I would have preferred 1st clip but vendor sent them assembled this way.

* OME887 coils

*Headstrong Off-road 1/4” spacer for taco lean correction.

*SPC UCAs
* Sway bar relocated
* ECGS clamshell bushing
* Rear 5100s, single AAL and new ubolts

(Not yet installed: OME driveline carrier bearing space & rear extended SS brake lines. I don’t think I need to install these soon.)

A big thanks to Goose at Lowrange Off-road for answering questions and updating me throughout the order process. Thank you to Headstrong Off-road for all their insight and fast service. Also thanks to all the Tacoma community here and on YouTube with all the tutorials and info. Lastly a big FUCK YOU the really long bolt on the UCA. The CV shaft retaining circlip is also on my shitlist for the fight it put up.

I’ll likely go to 285s after Christmas season.

 

good looking truck, fun to see it in person at SEMA

very nice, I just put my Kings on as well. How many turns did you crank your fronts up?

Here are some updated pics

 

Hey there, cranked 5 turns driver and 3 turns passenger! On street I run 22 clicks from soft on compression in the front and 4 in the rear. Just followed you on instagram as well!

 

What are the specs on this Cooper tires you runnin?

 

awesome thanks man, will follow you back. Ya that is weird for some reason I had to crank my passenger up more turns than driver to make them even. Opposite of the usual taco lean I guess we will see how they settle in

they are the stt pro's in 285 75 16

 

I’ve been eyeing the “what are you paying for your 2017 thread”, but I haven’t seen many long beds being bought. I noticed several of y’all have longbeds, and I’m looking to buy quicksand specifically. Are you guys getting much of a discount? I’m aiming for 15-20% on a ‘17 now that the ‘18s are arriving on the lots. Thanks

 

Saw your post in the 5100/AAL thread last night, your truck is gorgeous! Sits really nice, i'm likely going to mimic this setup.

 

Thank you. Your truck looks awesome by the way!

 

Thanks!

 

What's up! So finally got my leveling kit on. Put some 285s on. Goodyear duratracs. Love them bc there 8 ply and load range D so I can run 36psi if I want which makes the ride very smooth. Rides great except for rhe needle bearing vibes. Got the ecgs bushing. Tried to do it myself but failed. I could not get the cv axle out of the diff. Going to have a shop do it.

 

Anyone got any pictures of the TRD pro tail lights on their QS?

 

From the beach a few weeks back.

 

Just want to remind everyone that they made a great decision buying the QS.. Oh it's sexxxy

 

Very nice! Shopping 285 tires myself. The circlip on the CV shaft definitely puts up a fight. I just took a striking prybar to the bulky head and it popped right out. Putting the shaft back in is another struggle Lol.

Here ya go!


I saw someone at the local high school got a quicksand. So I couldn’t pass up a chance to take a comparison shot. Hard to think I was bone stock at one point.

I reallly need 285s

 

Pro tail lights look good. Going to order some soon for sure
