3rd Gen Quicksand thread

40 miles east of Waco Lee.

There are more pics in my build thread.

 

Was in Waco last weekend. Not the one just past, the one before that when it got crazy cold.

 

Yeah I was working nights that weekend. Sucks working outside sometimes.

 

At Fort Hunter Liggett

 

Been a while since I posted in here. Finally removed the front air dam this morning. Also added bedside decals without the off-road since I have a sr5.

Deciding if I want to spend on getting a light bar or oem roof rack.

 

I would be doing the same thing. In Canada the inferno comes standard with inferno trim pieces, always thought colour matching those pieces to the truck should be at least an option from the factory.

As far as color matching, a body shop that had a quicksand in for repair might have enou left over paint to spray those pieces for you for cheap!

 

Got the truck cleaned and got the cows delivered on my land today. Where I'm parked is my future drive way. Hoping to start on the house construction in a month or two.

 

You got the cows delivered before you built a house? Talk about redneck priorities!

Haha JK good luck with the build

 

Finally got around to getting an account and posting mine! 265/75/16 Goodyear Duratracs, RCI alum skid, TRD Filter Future mods Fox 2.5 fronts, Fox 2.0 with res and Icon AAL rear

 

After months of waiting 2 weeks before Thanksgiving I received my 2017 DCLB 4x4 TRD sport, fully loaded with tow package and JBL Tech Package.

First things first, debadge, tint, and an Icon stage 1 lift with 285/70r 17 BFG KO2's. Thanks to FN wheels for the amazing service!

5 days after new lift and tires... Spent 30 days in the shop thanks to an ignorant driver who likes to make U turns in front of people

3 days before Christmas I got it back good as new with a new black grill to match.

Future mods.
BAMF recessed Taco grill
Regearing for optimal performance
Left side spacer to fix the Taco lean..

 

scares me to see how many people here end up getting in bad accidents. I could be next! but at least ill have cool video of it if it happens.

 

I wish I had purchased the gopro camera before the accident. It would of saved me a ton of stress trying to prove that I was 0% responsible.

 

can you set gopros to start recording as soon as power is inputed yet? in the past i had never recommended gopros because a) they didnt auto start up and start recording as soon as they got power b) they didn't have a true "security camera style" looping mode that records 1-5 min clips and loops over the oldest clips.

I use the Thinkware F770 because it can also record while your truck is off, and with motion detection and g shock detection it can capture any assholes who hit and run your truck. big problem tho is if you dont have a topper, and just have it installed on your rear window, it might not get a good view over your truck bed.

but either way any cam is better than no cam, even if its just while you are driving.

 

Hey you're a vendor?

 

I had to make my way by the dealer for an accessory pick up at "Toyota of Orange" and they had one of every color on the lot. There is a reason that the Quicksand's are still fetching the highest premium over sticker.

Yikes. My 2017 OffRoad AC was discounted $1529 off MSRP here in NY.

 

Pricing is finally coming down to close to retail or just under, but as recently as last month True Car's price guarantee was "no more than $900 OVER sticker..."

Wow, "thanks for the Hook Up True Car."

I was also quoted $3500 off a leftover 2016, but I chose to order MY'17 in the exact configuration I wanted; I didn't have to ask for the discount, that was their standard pricing.
