3rd Gen Quicksand thread

read em n weep boys

 

What am I reading?

 

Great lighting makes for great pictures, regardless of location

 

sorry I posted a picture instead since alot of TW users cant read.

 

Alot of tw users (myself included) are shuffling 4 or 5 tasks at once, and are viewing on mobile devices.

Most of time I'm on tw I'm doing other stuff at the same time. And I forgot to read.

 

Finally found a 6' quicksand canopy, and after a marathon drive from Spokane to North Bend and back... Looks great! It was my first longer drive in the truck and I learned quite a bit about it. The entune media system did a hard reset once during the drive which was weird, and the tires rub when in reverse with the steering wheel turned. I also found some sludge on my dipstick when checking the oil. But overall trip went well, good speed going up and over the pass both times, just glad I have the MT.

 

Got my BAMF rock sliders installed....time to hit the trail

 

Managed to get out to the coast this weekend.

 

...Fawning over our tacos is normal, right guys?

 

Not just normal but encouraged.

 

What wheels are these?

 

no problem with brake calipers and the pro comp 69's?

 

16 inch aluminum soft 8s. I think they are fusions. I bought the used so I'm not sure. Pro comp and crager both make similar wheels

 

Got a couple installs checked off the old ever-growing/never-ending To-Do-List ...

Firstly ... got my Cali Raised Front Bed Molle System installed and mounted my Council Tools Pulaski Axe with CT Sheath below my Seymour Midwest Construction Super Shovel with Forest Service Sheath. This shovel is way cheaper than the Krazy Beaver, and Zoro Tools offers a 20-percent discount for new customers. I painted the shovel head and the Pulaski "Heritage Red" so they would match each other. Color is important to me, which is why I'm most active in this thread and consider it my "home."

The second pic shows my Deset Tan Hardigg cases (one for tools, one for cooking gear) as well as my new favorite tool; the Milwaukee 3/8" Cordless Ratchet (game-changer, AKA the "YouTube Ratchet"). I am obsessed with Hardigg cases. I am on a quest to complete my Tan Hardigg collection (gotta catch 'em all) ... more on that later.

Next, moved on to mounting my MaxTrax MKII Desert Tan Traction Devices on my Axia Alloys MaxTrax Traction Board Mounts. Mounted them at a slight angle in front of the RTT for the aerodynamic placebo effect. Seems solid so far. This combo has been on my wish-list for a while but I only buy things on sale, so I took advantage of the recent eBay spring 15-percent-off coupon, stacked with some reasonable off the top discounts by utilizing the "make offer" feature. The only way to go imo if you are trying to do a build on a budget.

Finished up by mounting my 36" First Responder Hi-Lift Jack on Tube Mounts (meh) behind the MaxTrax. Protects the jack a bit from accumulating road grime while pushing into the wind. If you're not familiar with the First Responder and all its advantages, you can learn about it here. I chose the 36" because the unique base of the First Responder is designed to securely grip two 4x4 wood blocks, thus adding a little height without the increased weight of the longer models.

What do you guys think?

 

WOW! Great build!

 

This is gold on quicksand. Obviously not the wheel model you are looking for, but might give you an idea of the color combo.


As far as Ray10s go, below is what will be back in stock as of 6:00pm PDT.

 

I think these would look good on quicksand taco
