    This website is the passion-project of a USMC veteran/mechanic, @Tyler. I created Tacoma3G.com to share my knowledge of this subject with others and to provide like-minded folks with a comfortable space to ask questions and create 'build threads' within our Tacoma Forums. Now, if the format of this website is confusing to navigate for you, or if you're interested in my full mission and T3G's history, check out the Help and About pages.

    M/T gearbox whistle?

    I never noticed that with my manual trans when I was stock, but I definitely do have transmission gear whine at 75ish in 5th/6th with my 5.29 gears. Must just be from how much faster everything is spinning at the same vehicle speed before the regear. No noise in 4th ever so I know it’s the...

    Tire Sizes That Work with Stock Mud Flaps - 255/75R17?

    Good stuff. That’s the exact tire I ran for 21k-ish miles; 265/65R17 XL. If I didn’t have 5.29 gears I’d probably want them again, but the revs are a bit much with a manual and those gears and tires. I’m thinking about going with 265/70R17 SL next time instead of the 255/75R17 LT-C’s I have...

    Tire Sizes That Work with Stock Mud Flaps - 255/75R17?

    Sorry, I don’t get on here a lot. I think your plan is good. For my use I definitely think stock height is best. No fiddling with driveline angles, no added hassle of having to step higher to get in, just overall a more practical plan for the daily driver in my eyes. I agree that the Sport...

    Tire Sizes That Work with Stock Mud Flaps - 255/75R17?

    I hate when folks don't follow up on threads, so here I am following up on my thread. I did trade for the 2020+ Sport rims, which are 17x7.5" +30mm. I ran the 265/65R17 Toyo ATIIIs on them for 6 months, worked great. A few weeks ago I upsized to LT255/75R17 C Toyo ATIIIs on the same rims. Still...

    2020 Tacoma TRD Pro

    I don't know how anybody can really help with this until we at least see some pictures of what was removed, what wires were cut into, etc.... Highly dout this is worth trading in over.

    OVTune OTT Tune

    $400 for tuning kit. You paid an extra $245 for the tune pack from OVTune. Then you paid another $79 to update. OTT, if you have it done by someone, is usually $400. The problem is, that's a flat fee. If you want to ever try any other tunes, that will be another $400, not to mention the lack of...

    OVTune OTT Tune

    The VFTuner kit should be like $400 and tunes should be roughly $200, in general. There are exceptions but as far as I know Yotawerx and OTT are both $200 tunes.

    Oil filter

    It is a fantastic kit....I have no desire to change from the cartridge filter after getting the tool kit. OEM Filters and the tool kit is good enough for me.

    Oil filter

    Get the MotivX tool kit....I never get any oil on me after getting those tools. It is a drain for the filter housing, a socket for the filter housing, and a funnel for the oil filler tube.

    New! Rigid Industries Amber PRO Lighting Series!

    That's pretty sweet. I LOVE Rigid products, they are the only light brand for pod style lights that I'll buy. Now that throws a wrench into whether I want white or amber D-SS driving pods for ditch lights. Already bought the brackets but I've been taking my time on buying the lights, now I have...

    What have you done to, or with, your Tacoma today?

    Enfig is a better mic than the one that comes with the radio. It’s nice and clear. I had the trail grid pro for a bit also. Siri could not hear me correctly with it. Told it to map me somewhere and it started calling someone named Sally. Very frustrating. Tombit was an option for a while but...

    What have you done to, or with, your Tacoma today?

    If you didn’t already, get the Enfig mic rather than using the one that came with the stereo.

    Morimoto X3B10 3rd Brake Light

    There are two third brake light types: 05-15 all cabs & 16+ Access Cab (factory 3-bulb 194 red housing) 16+ double cab (factory all-LED clear housing) Physically they are not the same, there are actually differences in the cabs. So you have to stick with your cab type and year. Morimoto...

    Morimoto X3B10 3rd Brake Light

    It's because you have an access cab. The access cab 3rd gens have the same 3-bulb red third brake light that the 2nd gens all had. The double cab 3rd gens have a clear LED 3rd brake. The only downside to the stock one on the double cabs is that the clear looks kind of plain and the light output...
