3rd Gen Quicksand thread

Nice!

I added some off-road-y bits to my DCLB Sport. Best of both worlds???

 

How much did the black flares run ? $600

 

How many people did you have to talk to at the dealership and how many times did you have to remind them, to make sure they didn't put the damn front license plate holder on?

 

Wow someone actually noticed no front plate LOL

I probably have 50 emails going back and forth with updates and discussions. After he said it was built and arriving I told him and didn't remind him and hoped for the best. I went yesterday and saw no plate mount and was excited they remembered. Employee putting on the rear plate said he came in and said he saw the big sign not to drill the front bumper

 

I'm glad they listened. My truck is coming in a few weeks and I need to start sending out emails to make sure someone gets the memo loud and clear. Congrats on the truck.

 

@themajewski congrats on the new Taco!!!!

 

I'm glad they did too, quite the process and wish it arrived quicker but my salesman was great thoughout the whole process. Gave him some Polish moonshine I Brough over when I was on vacation as a thank you.

Thanks, can't wait to begin some small mods that won't break the bank

 

The old and the new! Similar color scheme. Someone is coming to buy the Saab tomorrow

 

I'd have to look. Had them painted a flat/matte/satin black at a body shop, looks great. I wiped out the passenger bedside backing alongside a post after a loooooong day skiing, and just rolled it into the $1200 total.

 

I'm doing the same thing, so far I have the bed mat, the header rail for bed, rocky mount bike racks, and an access roll up tonneau cover. I'm looking at sliders, but that mite wait till the spring time.

 

Could you still faintly see the glue resin from the TACOMA badge?? i have used goof off and everything else but I still barely see it in the sun and at the right angle. Thanks..

 

Nice Prinsu rack, I got mine ordered. What kind and size of tire are you running?

 

265 75 r16 duratracs in a load range C.

 

I think that is the direction I am going. Any hit on mpg's? I have a long commute so just checking.

 

Probably some but I put them on at 500 miles so have no real comparison. See my fuelly sig for a lot of my tanks of fuel. I think the RTT and prinsu rack hurt my mileage the worse. I can get 19 to 20 mpg's if I keep it under 65. I drop to 17 or so at 75.

 

I'm with you on the waiting ordered mine 10/23/15 took delivery 4/9/16. Nice good looking truck just wish the put the MT in the LB.

 

Here's how it looks as of now.

 

No, but I debadged it about 3 days after taking ownership, and then promptly washed car with dishwashing soap to degrease it, clay barred the vehicle, then put on some Meguiars TechWax 2.0. I'd imagine the clay bar probably got my residue out.

 

Where it all began...

 

That truck is amazing.
