  • Welcome to Tacoma3G.com, a free resource for 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma owners!

    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.

    Just installed Boss Aluma 2.0

    Those were 265. I ran 265 up until 6 months ago so if your concern is lifting the truck and 265's looking tiny, you will be fine. However, since then I have up sized to 285/70/17 although still on Duratracs. If you are asking about the Aluma 2.0 shocks and SPC's.....they are good on...

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

    100% PNP. One of the reasons I went with the 2 over the 3. Definitely have to cut and modify to fit 3.

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

    Relocated traction control to overhead using the Meso 2 switch panel and an extension cable. I was prepared for a fight, but it wasn't bad, just a bit tedious routing the cable. Made room to add future switches although I am not sold on keeping rockers, but they are easy to connect to the KC...

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

    The bumper fits exactly as before. The holes on the winch plate of my SSO bumper were large enough to allow for adjustment so the larger bolts fit without any issue. I would imagine most aftermarket bumpers would be similar. Once the stock studs are drilled out, they are simply replaced with...

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

    Beefed up the front bumper mounting points with 1/2 inch grade 8 hardware and 3/16 steel reinforcement plates from Overland Outfitters.

    Anyone running U402 Stage 1?

    I have Deaver U402 Stage 1. When fully loaded I have about 300# in the bed and it measured just over 23 1/2". However, @ARCHIVE recommends a different way to measure rear lift. When I did it his way I measured just over 9 1/2" which translates into about 1 1/4" of rear lift. If you are...

    Do I need Spindle Gussets?

    Did you replace this outer seal when you upgraded your spindles? Trying to determine if this should be done at the same time.

    Do I need Spindle Gussets?

    I do not know if these are a must and haven't had any problems yet, but pretty cheap insurance. Just need to find time to install. I have been looking around and don't see a lot of information on whether to replace the outer seals at the same time? I will definitely be installing these soon...

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

    Returned today from Ouray, CO, Rocky Mountain Toyota Roundup. Would absolutely do it again. Black Bear pass was closed so will have to make another trip in the future. 4.5k miles round trip. The Taco performed flawlessly.

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

    Yup. Now you need to ditch the spare and add the HC cross bar to complete the setup.

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

    Stretched her legs today on her 2 year b-day. 2 years, a lot of mistakes and a crap ton of $$$$. Still could not be happier with it. Day 1 Day 730

    Love this! It is on my "wish list".
