3rd Gen Quicksand thread

The rear stuff, Platiderp, paint, Line-X?
Loks good, I have the chrome bumper caps and was going to color match, but might try black first.

 

Our chrome caps are wrapped with Vinyl. We wanted the semi-flat smooth look. I wouldn't be able to get that effect with line-x or plasti-dip, I mean if I tried myself.

 

Quicksand Staco .. gotta get my lift installed.

 

Sick Fjord shot!

 

What bed rack did you go with? I like how low it sits.

 

Really nice- I watched on of you vids- nice work

 

found a little plowed dirt road today. Hopefully the snow melts soon.

 

Lift goes on Tuesday, bronze SR8s and 285s inn Weds. I'll post some pics for you.

 

Got dumped on the other day, had to take it out and have some fun!
Haven't taken any measurements yet.

Lift:
-OME 888 coils in front (OME trim spacer on Driver side)
-1/4" spacers
-90021 Front shocks
-Full Dakar Pack in rear
-Camburg UCA's

Wheels:
-17x8.5 Pro Comp Rockwell (Serious 5034)
-Backspace - 4.75
-0mm offset

Tires:
-Falken Wildpeak A/T3W
-P285/70r17 (YES these are P rated!, come in an LT version as well)

Was driving through up to 5-6 inches of snow at some points. This thing plowed through it like nothing. Super happy with this set up.

 

I haven't found a mall yet that my Falken Wildpeak A/T3W tires couldn't crawl though.

 

That's what I did for about a year, just looked at pictures on the Internet, read peoples opinions, and happily drove my T100 which I've had for 15 years... makes getting one that much more enjoyable and appreciated

 

How do you like those tires? Been looking at getting them to replace my stocks

 

Just got back from an awesome weekend beach trip made sure to snap many pictures of the tacoma. Stock tires preformed pretty well in the sad considering i watched a ford burry its self....leave it up to the ford owners to not air down
Now time for picture overload and my spotlight

 

Even messed up and let the better half drive for a little after 1 to many


Scariest part was driving my truck on the ferry and trusting it to not sink

 

so those are 255 85 16s like ladyred

 

Living where I do, there is no chance to do any real off roading, a few unimproved roads, some state park 2 tracks and private land for hunting, firewood etc is about as rough as it gets. The Falkens are better than the stockers for what I need, even on road in wet or snow.

The best thing about the stock tires is the ride compliance, a great deal of the (relatively) plush ride is the soft squishy stock tires. The Falkens are firmer, I assume the KO2s would be even firmer.

Kinda jelly of the photos members post of really great off road locations. Someday...

 

Thanks for the feedback!

 

Yep, same tire
