  • 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.

    How’s everyone holdin' up? T3G's therapeutic mental health and general chat thread.

    Front plate

    Unless it is highly enforced in your state, No Front Plate Tickets are usually a charge that is tacked on if you're being a moron. Officers around here don't have the time nor do they really care about someone not having a front plate, as long as they can read your rear plate.
