3rd Gen Quicksand thread

We love helping people spend money. Haha. I’m trying to talk myself out of buying UCAs with the damn 15% code. I shouldn’t of said anything.

 

Thank you! Totally worth it. Barely notice it with the backup camera and the mpg didn’t really get affected. Dogs love it.

 

Dude, I know. I do. Like I said, I’ve never really modded much but THIS PLACE is both great for me yet not so great on my wallet! Every time I decide to do something I want to do something else. RCI or Mobtown skid is next.

 

To all those that replied and were so kind to help, thank you! I decided to get the Pro wheels. I am not willing to wait and play the Ray 10 lottery every month and wasn’t sure about the Methods. I wanted the Pro wheels from day one so I just hit the order button. If I get them and have buyer’s remorse then I’ll sell them an debt something else! Thanks again!

 

I’m sure you won’t regret them! You’ll probably be buying a 5th one for a spare. I did lol.

 

Oh crap, I forgot about that. Nope, I’m holding out for a skid plate and rear bumper next. LOL

 

It's a work in progress at the moment. Faux TRD Pro grill. Primed the included lettering to match the grills black color. Taped off the base of the T & A and used Automotive touch up color matched rattle can to match the lettering with the truck color. I need to do one more coat then clear coat and it'll be done. When the tape is removed it'll be a black base just like the others with the raised lettering in quicksand.

Below is a pic to show the contrast.

 

Couple shots

 

30 minute install. No TSS error. Using the OEM Toyota garnish insert.





Last thing on my list now is the 2" Lift.

 

Anyone have pics of a quicksand with trail Team wheels in silver

PT904-35070 or anthracite PT904-35071?

 

Well I’ll join in. Had a 13 single cab 4wd and loved it (maybe not as much as the 04 single cab 4wd I had) but we needed something bigger for expanding family so I set out to find a low mile 4 door 4wd 12-15 and preferred 6spd MT. Well less than a week ago we headed to a local dealer to look at a 2012 trd 4wd and on the way I started thinking I’ll probably get screwed on a 2012 as far as interest rate so I looked on their website and they had a new 2018 4 door white SR 4wd for a few thousand more than a 2012 with 80k n then rite under it was a 2018 trdor sb 6spd manual and I immediately new I had to at least drive it. Well we left with it. Dealer had already tinted windows and it came with the TRD sport exhaust. So far love the truck. Hate the chrome bumper caps but that’ll go. Debadged it and lovin every minute.

congrats on the new truck!

 

New wheels and center caps arrived today. Thanks to all those that helped out. Too many to tag, but thanks again. @cruetes @shakerhood @RobP62 and many more!

 

Lookin good, you will love them on your truck!

 

Thank you. I really appreciate your help and your patience with all my questions. For some reason buying the wheels really stressed me out and you were a huge help. I also appreciate your help on the Falkens.

 

NP Brother, I really like the Falkens on my truck, they are smooth and quiet with excellent rain characteristics, been off the beaten path a few times and they did great, if they end up being good in snow too I will be a happy camper and the lower price was just icing on the cake.

 

I really think these tires are a hidden gem for sure. I was struggling literally forever but when I was able to nab them for what I got them for there was no question and no reason not to try them. So, about mounting those new tires. Would you go with the dealer or local shop? I’m thinking about telling them up front I’m super picky and I don’t want my wheels damaged. If weights are required they go in the back/inside of the wheel. Any thoughts?

 

I went to the Dealer for mine, super picky like you so went with Stick on weights from the back side as I didn't want any damage.
