3rd Gen Quicksand thread

Whew, i just finished reading through this thread

 

If I buy the truck, I may give you a ring about that topper, doubt you’d want to trade fender flares too right? Haha

 

Dependent on logistics I’d entertain selling the topper separate.

Nah. My fenders flares are cut to match the Dissent bumper. Unless you wanna buy the bumper and swap fender flares + your quicksand bumper.

Loving the rear wrap!

 

Arrowrock resevoir near Boise, ID....truck kind of blends right in

 

Traveling from Ft Bragg to Ft Campbell stopped and got gas and another Tacoma owner filling up said, I love that color.

 

I've had a couple of those.......but more recently I showed a pick of my truck in the model airplane website I mod and got this response from one of the members:
"Huh.......I always wondered who actually bought tan Tacomas"



Me! I've always loved the black and tan look along with the military-esk look of Quicksand.

 

I got the Ride Shocks rear shocks and they’ve been amazing for thousands of miles. So far, I’ve only installed the rear shocks because the front coils weren’t ready yet when I got the rears back in late July. Went from Los Angeles, CA to Glacier National Park in Montana and back to break them in. Lol

Backstory: The KING Shocks that I used to have on the rears were leaking and over due for service. (Had about 60k miles on them) Plus, I was getting ready for a long road trip with friends to Glacier National Park. The rear shocks were the priority to replace and I was short on time (partly due to procrastination). I was referred to AccuTune by a trusted local off road shop, Dirty Parts Off-Road in Culver City, so that I could get a quote for the rebuild on the KINGS. I believe I got to speak with John at AccuTune from day one. I mentioned that I would like to get a new set of shocks while the KINGs were getting rebuilt and he mentioned that they had these new RIDE SHOCKS. I asked if they had them in red. He said yes, and I was probably 90% sold on them because of that.

We continued to communicate via text and I decided to eventually go see them in person at El Cajon to pull the trigger on the purchase. John was very cool with helping me out with what to do with the KING Shocks and how to set up the RIDE SHOCKS for the rear setup on the truck.

Visiting their facility at El Cajon.

Cool RIDE SHOCKS swag I got from John: 2 shirts, a hoodie and a trucker hat.

In with the new…

Out with the old…

A stop during the road trip up to Glacier NP.

Campsite on the first day/night at Emery Bay Campground.

Group campsite for the following four days at Emery Bay Campground.

Got a nice view of the Hungryhorse Reservoir from the rtt

Thanks to a friend who helped me get the rtt leveled. The RIDE SHOCKS rear shocks and KING Suspension front coilovers helped by doing their thing too. Thanks, guys.

A shot with the gang by the Glacier NP sign near Lake McDonald.

A little side quest in Glacier NP…

Got to stop by Yellowstone for the first time on the way back home to Los Angeles. Checked up on the rear shocks during a stop to see how they were doing. They looked all good.


Some souvenirs from Glacier NP
