3rd Gen Quicksand thread

no, just do dash cam product reviews on youtube. not involved in any direct sales, manufacturing, or distribution.

 

Found a thread on color matching. I have to order this paint. Same name just protective enamel of what I picked which is khaki or something. Suppose to be pretty much spot on..

This looks like it matches well

 

Yup that's the stuff. Two cans with the same name but the stuff to get is that protective enamel

 

New to the forum and new to Tacomas. pretty excited. just dropped my deposit on getting a Quicksand 4x4 TRD sport crewcab longbed built. Can't wait. Threw a black nerf bar step and tonneau cover across the back. im not dying to drop a ton of money on new wheels and rims, but i do think i want a small lift. never lifted a truck (last truck i owned i was 17yrs old and it was a 72 dodge d100). ive seen some pics with the little bit of lift. is it a 3" lift? im in Los Angeles, anyone in the area know a good place to go? i probably won't have the truck for another couple months, but want to start gauging cost, etc.

picked it up from Manhattan Beach Toyota through the Costco program. definitely the way to go!

 

eyesmoke that truck looks and sits totally perfect man wow great job man just awesome

 

Really liking how the SCS Ray10's turned out. Vin, you're magician. For all inquiring minds, all mods are listed on my profile page. I had alignment tweaked, no rubbing whatsoever without trimming. Loving the tall and skinny M/T's, thanks for the inspiration @LadyRed. MPG's will likely suffer a bit, it's a truck, don't care. No plans for a re-gear as of yet, the MT seems to handle the tires just fine. Next up, getting rid of the OEM mud flaps which I will likely replace with Plasticolor ones. Lots of rain/slush and other road crap here on the West Coast, like to keep the sides of the truck pock free and windshields behind me in one piece. Slowly building her up.

 

Those tires looks great! ^^^

 

Are they 9.50 wide?

 

255mm or 10.04"

 

Looks great. Have the same wheels in same color sitting in my basement for my sport. Just gotta order my lift

 

You will love them! Photos don't do it justice.

Finished up my grille and got my bed rack on.

 

Thanks man!!!

 

@BCJake Love the truck. You mentioned on your profile page you did the "Front diff needle bearing delete, ECGS bushing in" mod.

When you removed the needle bearing, was it the old style or the TSB Style needle bearing Toyota had put in your truck?

 

To be honest, I did not notice. That being said, compared to the ECGS bushing, the needle bearing is flimsy at best.

 

Ok thanks for checking. I just wanted to know if we 3rd gens actually got the TSB one which is likely better quality. If guess if it poops out I"ll just go for the ECGS one.

 

Camo seems to match well

 

Who's bed rack? I've been waiting 20 weeks for mine from one of our vendors, and I'm really running out of patience.
