3rd Gen Quicksand thread

Will see how it settles. I imagine it'll come down just a little. Only put 20 miles on so far.

 

It looks high. Looks perfect tho. I was only asking cause I have the same lift I'm getting ready to install and was planning on 275s. I hope they don't look too small.

 

I had the same dilemma when I ordered 265/75R16's before my lift was on. I kept looking at trucks running 5100's and 887's online that had 265's and they looked tiny so I made a last second call to my mechanic and had him put 285's on. Glad I did. Actually have to hop up into the seat now.

 

I
like the roof color

 

Yea I kept trying to convince myself I could do 265s but I agree they just look too small with a lift of 2in or more.
Are you running 3rd gen 5100s? Do you know how many in you got from your lift? Sorry for all the questions.

 

No problem, ask all the questions you want. I looked through the pages of Tacoma world for hours trying to figure out how to get the lift I wanted. So many variable. Yes they are the third gens. I was supposed to take measurements but forgot and so did my mechanic. It looks tall in the pics but it's more impressive in person. I'm 5'10" and I can barely touch the bed if I reach over the side. Before is was nothing to reach in and grab things. My wife is 5'1" so looks like some NFAB step bars will be ordered.

 

Thank you for the answer. I haven't ordered my tires yet so I may just see how much lift I get before I do.

 

Went to Death Valley over the weekend and manage to take a photo on the truck.

 

Awesome looking truck ....Did you need an alignment after putting on the front spacer lift? I'm assuming the answer is yes, just curious. I might order the same kit.

 

everyone without a quicksand truck is getting that quicksand paint job (pollen)

I'm glad I got this color these spring months I don't have to wash it daily because you can't tell how dirty it is till close up.

 

Truth!
And scuffs and scratches are much less noticeable

 

Are you saying everyone wants to be like us? Can you blame them?
It is the best 3rd gen color option after all, IMO. Rock on!

 

Got so many compliments in Ft. Carson and Peterson afb. Never served, but feels good getting props from our soldiers!!

 

I will say even when my truck was stock i got more compliments then any of my previous trucks. And some were far from stock! Love this truck and the color more and more every day. Get so many thumbs up its crazy. And almost every time ive stopped to get gas it gets a compliment.

 

It's such a great work truck. Lumber and bags of cement all day. Building fences. And I Love how it looks when I wash it
