3rd Gen Quicksand thread

Hey guys, added some Rough Country 2" black offroad LED lights to replace my fog lights...HUGE difference. Used Rigid Industries fog light mount kit, came out good. Came up on the lights for a great price. Jeff over at Rough Country was great. He gave me the dimensions of the lights and awnsered all my questions. I created a post in the 3rd gen builds forum under Adams 3rd gen build with all the mods if you want to check it out.

 

Mounted a OEM roof rack and tossed some floods on it. I also cut out a diamond plate to mount my switch panel too. Pretty stoked

 

Thanks bud, it's a full OME suspension. 90021 front and rear Nitrocharger rear shocks paired with 888 coils. Also running Light Racing SPC UCA's and CS047R Dakar leaf spring packin the rear. It's been a great suspension for the past year and a half now done everything I've needed it to do without fail.

 

@jaredc2306

Have to agree with @backcountryj the windoors and fold down window were definitely worth it.

I'm liking the shell a lot. Overall it's very well made. It's definitely an aftermarket item and isn't perfect but it's pretty close. I went big and got every option exactly as I wanted it so I don't have any real regrets. Total came out to $2,700.

I had the shell lock wired into the factory lock system but apparently I wasn't specific enough. If I were to do it again I would ensure that they wired the locking mechanism to the passenger doors only. That way I could set the vehicle to two button locking and 90% of the time the shell wouldn't unlock. Maybe extend the life of the locking mechanism a bit.

So far no leaks when I wash the truck with a pressure washer. No rain or snow driving yet.

Overall very happy with the Leer 100xr.

 

Thanks for the advice. Do you have the pop n lock tailgate lock as well? I never would have thought about wiring it to the passenger lock. That’s a great point.

 

Hitchgate Solo High Clearance from Wilco Offroad ... little Cyber Monday action ...

 

Yeah it's the pop and lock kit. I had asked them to work it that way to the passenger doors but they didn't do it the way I asked. I didn't check it thoroughly before I drove off and the install was done an hour away soooooo won't be getting back there anytime soon.

 

Had my new wheels installed. I highly recommend @SCSPerformance quality customer service and a killer product. 16in Ray 10's in matte bronze.

 

Looks good.
Post some additional pictures when the truck isn’t in the shadows when you can. Looking to possibly go a similar route.

 

Almost 2 months and 2,000 miles into her. Loving it so far!

 

Anyone running the 'Texas Edition'/Ultra wheels on their quicksand? I looked through all 271 pages and didn't see any, and can't find any other threads with these wheels on a light colored truck.

I'll try and post pics this evening or tomorrow afternoon.

 

I need a camper shell. If any of you with a short bed even consider it, hit me up. I’m in North Texas and willing to drive!!!

 

Same story here, but in the south east.

 

Texas weather for you: getting stuck with shorts on and then 6” snow a few days later.

Meet Atlas, our overlanding rig with the SSO slim line bumper w/ 10K synthetic rope winch, All Pro bed rack, Tepui Kukenam XL ruggedized, and 265/75R16 BFG KO2. Want/need skids, sliders, and Headstrong’s Bilstein/Dakar suspension setup.

Heading to Moab in about a week with @Bullnettles to visit the White Rim Trail in Canyonlands NP, Arches NP, and to drive parts of the UT backcountry discovery route (UTBDR).

Then heading to the Grand Canyon NP, Flagstaff, Sedona, Petrified Forest NP, and then over to Gila NF in NM on the way home.

 

Those wheels are awesome IMO. Nice setup.

 

Nice taco! You have a great road trip planned

 

Hello all, new to Tacoma World and just bought my first Taco!

 

Thank you, this is our first long trip in the truck. Looking forward to the adventure.

 

Decided to take her to Windrock last weekend.
