Another Quicksand TRD Pro

[niccuhles]

Hey all! I haven't posted any pics of my rig recently and got some after getting it detailed.

Mods:

Daystar 2.5/1" spacer lift.
1.5" wheel spacers.
285/70/17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers.
Icon tube UCA.
Icon rear trailing arms.
Gobi Stealth rack and ladder.
NFAB nerf bars.
HIDs and LEDs swapped throughout the whole rig.
JL W6 with JL amp.

I will be upgrading the wheels, tires and suspension in January. Along with switching out for sliders, adding a light bar and intake/exhaust. The stock suspension, wheels, tires and NFABs will all be for sale come January.

Wow that looks great. Very classy, nothing overboard.

How do you like the spacer lift + 285 tire combo? Kill your MPG?

Spacer Lift and trailing arms

I like the color. I would have bought that color if it were available in 2015.

Did you find it helpful or necessary to use adjustable trailing arms when you lifted your rig?

I'm adding an ICON stage 7 tubular lift in a couple of weeks, as soon as the parts come in and I need to study how to set the lengths of those arms. Any tips on that?

Best pro color in my opinion. Nicely done.

Thank you! The spacer lift is so so, and that’s the reason why I’m looking to upgrade. There’s a ton of nose dive while hard braking right now and I hate it. Nitro ridge grapplers have been awesome, I recommend them for a daily tire. Between the lift, tires and the gobi rack I’m getting 14-15 MPG average, which sucks but I guess that’s the price I have to pay to have a cool rig haha.

I honestly didn’t notice any improvement over stock, I adjusted them according to the stock arm length and really haven’t touched them since. The rears didn’t have any issues with alignment whatsoever so I never messed with them. It does look awesome though haha. Make sure to use a good amount of thread lock on the end links. I’ve had issues with my twisting causing them to clunk against the factory mount location.
