    After 3 years of ownership, the stock tires are bald so the obvious decision for anyone in this position is to install a lift, gears and 35’s.

    The truck currently has a prinsu rack, c4 bed rack, CVT RTT, awning, and some lights. I will need to fabricate a mount for the shovel, axe, and hi lift jack. Here’s some pictures of the truck as it currently sits:

    I’ll post pictures as the parts arrive over the next week and things progress. But for now I need to get my post count up so I can post a WTB ad.

    They got rid of it for this year right? It’s too bad, I liked it as well.

    Thanks gentlemen. I believe they did stop making quicksand for this year because I don’t see it as an option on their website. That doesn’t mean they won’t reintroduce it though; there was a period of time in 2017/2018 where it wasn’t offered.

    I haven’t had a chance to take many pictures, but fox 2.5s with dsc’s have been installed on all 4 corners, element hardparts billet UCAs, cab mount chop complete, diff drop, and a rear AAL. I may be replacing the AAL in the coming months, but deaver leaf packs were on back order for a few months so I’ll see how this goes for a while.

    5.29 Gears have been ordered but won’t arrive until March. Rotopax fuel and water tanks should arrive today. Here’s a few other parts waiting for install, I’ll put them on today if the rain stops:

    Of course FedEx delivered 3 of my 4 tires. Luckily that is still enough to test fit the wheel and tire combo. Better photos to come when I get the fourth tire.
