    2016 QuickSand TRD-Pro dude out of South TX here.
    Props and praises to all. I've been following the forum since picking up my Tundra back in March of this year. She's a beauty and a pleasure to drive but of course being on this forum has stirred the modification itch. Looking to give her a little more altitude without too much attitude as she is my daily driver. I'll be adding new shoes and lift augmentation soon; hopefully before the end of the year.

    I look forward to the exchange of knowledge and ideas and sarcasm from all of you out there.

    Peace out!

    So the build begins, it will be a slow and steady process......

    Ordered:
    Yokohama 35x12.5-18 Geolander M/T G003
    Black Rhino Barstow Wheels 18x9.5 +12 offset
    Undecided on Matte Black or Matte Bronze.
    The Matte Black are on back order and expect them to be in by December.
    I'm just not sure how the Matte Bronze will look on the QuickSand TRD.

    Opinions are welcome!!!

    I like the Method wheels.:D

    Either of the Black Rhinos will look good.:thumbsup:

    Hey buddy, did you want to start a thread in the generations build section? If you keep building here your posts won’t count and people can look you up better there.
    Just a thought...
