  • 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.

    PC Builds - Show-off and discussion.

    Where the custom PC guys at? Thinking about building one. I built one back in the days of the GTX 6XX days. Thought I'd given up PC gaming so I ended up buying a NUC to mount to the monitor. That didn't last long... ended up with a Razer Core X Chroma and GTX1080 Hybrid as an eGPU setup. This...

    Used oil analysis

    T3G Feedback and questions about Tacoma3G.com - How can our community and website be better?

    I think these categories make it a bit busy. It's one more thing to add tags and then they fall under categories. I'd say go for simplification before adding features. Start with what people are used to with basic forums, once that's stable, then add to it while retaining the fundamentals.

    T3G Feedback and questions about Tacoma3G.com - How can our community and website be better?

    I'd say text. Can't always tell what's for sale in a picture. Sort of changes up things and gives a Facebook Marketplace vibe, similar to tacswap.com. I think text would be better without disrupting things.
