    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.

    New Tacoma owner

    Welcome to T3G! I built an “offroad” bed off a design I saw and then just added my own little changes to it. But I would imagine making a flat bed wouldn’t be too much different. I would suggest adding a bit of a lift, by means of extra leaf or something just to keep the rear from sagging...

    These motors are goofy. One intake was full of oil but drained then this one was found full of it while taking this thing apart to pull it. Also found this on the passenger side. So the drivers side and passenger side blew. Each side has a crack/ chunk blown out.

    Jfrisch’s Red Taco build

    Finally. and when I say finally, I mean it. The tailgate on the bed never worked. *because I’m a derp and didn’t allow room for it to open like a standard tailgate on a pickup. Oops but didn’t have the rtt yet anyway. So it never bothered me. Well, couple bucks and some jeep parts ( 😳 )...

    Marlin Crawler RCLT HD preview video / updates

    That’s the worst decision. I have on “paper” a fj80 axle to keep similar track width. Possibly a built 9” for the rear. Time is of the essence for me. That’s why I’m hoping for the rclt. I can knock it out and not miss too much work. (Yeah, self employed but still lots to do lol)
