    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.

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

    I post once I get the break in done and really get to try it out. I have a manual though, so my feedback might not be what the majority of people are looking for..

    Build update: Made the trip to East Coast Gear Supply to get 5.29 gears installed. Trip was 918 miles and 15 hours with gas and food stops. We’re going to hang around North Carolina and Tennessee and make a little vacation out of it while I break in the gears.

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

    After putting my bumper on 2 1/2 months ago, I finally relocated my camera and wired up the license plate lights.

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

    I’m curious just how low the 5.29s are going to be with 33s and MT. I wasn’t planning to bump up to 315s until these 295s wear out. Ah that sucks about the carrier.

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

    Called ECGS, ordered 5.29s and set a date to get em installed. I’ve been putting this off for way too long. So I didn’t actually do anything to the truck, but damn I’m excited.

    Post any photo of your Tacoma!

    I’m jealous. A lot of y’all have such kick ass places to wheel. Even if you aren’t wheeling, you have interesting places with some nice scenery. I have to pay a membership to wheel on private property and if I want to wheel “in the wild”, it’s at least a few hours drive. Anything beyond those...

    I decided on Cooper STT Pro 295/70/17. The rubbing was pretty bad, which I was expecting. I did the CMC, beat the pinch welds flat, and trimmed the plastic. The ride with the 63s is so much better. It floats like a Cadillac and has tons of droop. There’s about 5-6 more inches of droop than...

    The next weekend it was time to get the suspension taken care of. I knew I had my work cut out for me on the rear, so I went ahead and knocked out the front first. I thought “what kinda Ronald McDonald shit is this”. :LOL:

    Thanks! I’ve been here for a while, but don’t post much. Finally decided to put a build thread on here. When I ordered the bumper, I thought the one without hoops looked nicer. But I wanted the extra protection, so I ordered it with hoops. Now I really like how it looks with hoops.

    2/17/18 Bumper install time. Chop chop Test fit Get the line in the winch It’s funny looking with those little tires and lift, but that would be taken care of soon enough.

    The wait for the bumper and skid was finally over. Took 10 weeks and I was excited to go pick it up.

    Then I thought it was time for a suspension upgrade. Nothing fancy. I didn’t see the need for any high dollar coilovers. I don’t have any long washboard roads or open desert to blast across. Everywhere I was off road was slow pace. I decided on OME 886 springs and 90000 shocks up front, since...
