3rd Gen Quicksand thread

Yeah, I totally found that out.... what a fucking ugly color... its like a canker sore sitting under my truck now, until I can find some of that single coat stuff.

 

You think they changed the color name to "Sand"? Becuase I cant even find the Khaki on Amazon... its basically kaput everywhere I look... even in other states.
What say you abou this color match: https://www.acehardware.com/departm...-MTwGZvy31wFjpV4zcUaAo0sEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

I mean only one way to find out right?

 

Found it here --

You all do know that you can go to Automotive touch up to get your paint right?

Yeah, but $40 for a can... thats a bit much.
I chatted with a Rustoleum rep yesterday and they are supposed to start getting back to full distribution of a bunch of colors that have been out of stock for a while in August... I could wait.

 

Maybe so, but it's an exact match.
There's a Sherwin Williams vehicle paint store near where I live, so I go there when I need paint. Costs about $25 a can (the price recently went up).

 

Considering I am just re-painting my skid plate, a similar match is good for me for now.
I may buy this if I wanted to tweek out and do some interior mods.
And yes... everything is going up in cost.

 

As far as the fork is concerned, the newer RockShox Lyrik and Fox 36 are labeled as 29/27.5+. If you're looking at putting normal width 27.5 on there I wouldn't think that would be a problem either. I have a Pivot Switchblade that is normally a 29er set up with 27.5+ wheels. I agree with @DmiRider that it would only be a problem trying to fit a 29" wheel on a designated 27.5" fork. This is pure speculation but I wouldn't think that switching to 27.5 would change the geometry just lower the bottom bracket height which may necessitate shorter cranks to avoid pedal strikes. Also depending on what trails you're riding could cause your bottom bracket to get hung up more often. Most of the bikes that are designed to have interchangeable wheel sizes have a "flip chip" that changes the bottom bracket height and the head/seattube angle slightly.

 

Thanks for the info!

 

Just got a bath and recently installed Yakima racks/yakima basketcase/yakima fairing.
Super stoked om how this all worked out (the racks)

Yours has the hood scoop. And, I hate you for it.

 

Lol
Its a non functional, bug catching, water collecting scoop, but i suppose it does look cool.
I almost traded it for a non scoop hood at one point

 

I tried for a few months to find a swapper when it was spanky new and no takers. Interested? Where you be at?

 

Bump! (Just because it's the best colour)

I'd rock either rim.....

 

I originally looked at the Black Rhinos for my 2018. Then I saw Pro Comp had a tan steel rim I looked into. The expert at the desk at 4wheel parts told me how awful steel is on the road and not worth it. He didn't know what to say when asked how so many cars for decades had steel wheels so I left.

 

Bro?

 

I laughed and then rolled my eyes at this. Great reply by the way!

 

Just got new tires and the traction boards mounted!

 

We need more Quicksand in here.

I don't think I've posted this shot(?)
