3rd Gen Quicksand thread

congrats on the new truck

 

do you have a side pic of the pillars with the vinyl removed? I've been thinking about doing that!

 

Finished product


The tires have been great so far, get good traction on wet and dry pavement though they do tend to get a little squirrelly pulling out quick in the rain. The noise isn't bad at all and my mileage dropped maybe half a mile per gallon.

 

My 1984 next to my 2017!

 

Selling the 84?

 

Sold in one hour of posting on Craigslist!

 

Are you in Tacoma, WA?

 

i sure cant find it. but it was a pita to get it all off without scratching the paint. i should have left it alone. my advice is to not do it.

 

so the previous pic was without lift then. may i ask why you chose to lift with this size tires and not go up to 285s?

 

Thanks the Tires are 285 75 16 general grabblers x3 and I've heard ppl not take the bumper off to install the winch but also heard it was a PITA so I'll probably take the bumper off to install my winch

 

No sorry I live in Northern California

 

I don't know if I would have the heart to sell my 85... posted it one time on CL and took it down 10 minutes later... just couldn't do it.

 

I got $3,700 for the old girl. I'm happy she went to someone who said they want to restore her to her original glory.

 

I have more than that in drive train parts in mine. Not to mention they are rare as hell here in Texas compared to Oregon and the West Coast. There is no way I could take that little for mine. Glad they go that cheap there your truck would have brought double that here.

 

I had the wildpeaks on before I even thought about buying a lift and they only have 4,500 miles on them. Since it wasn't a huge lift the current tires still look good on it though maybe I go to 285's when these are worn.

 

Holy cow! I should have shipped it to Texas!!!!!

 

This was a real beauty, @Marshal Dillon

 

That is the look I am going for! What tires/size, rims and lift do you have?

 

Im really interested in the same Push bar you have, How do you like it so far? How was the install? can i see a couple more pictures of your truck with it. Thanks

 

I love it. I had a massive heavy bumper on my last wrangler. Never needed it. I just wanted a custom front end look and the ability to mount my light. Not a fan of roof top lighting. Everybody and there brothers dog has a 50inch light bar above there window in so cal. I also think the light and painted lower section look super cool together. Nobody has my front end... so I really dig it. Install was easy. Worst part was figuring out how to remove the front bumper. So I broke a bracket to figure it out and picked up that bracket the next day for $20. About a 3-4 hour install. Just keep it loose and tighten it up once it's all in. 100% happy. Ow and they are in stock! Didn't wait a day to have it shipped out. The bedrack was a 2 month wait
